Against the Grain: My Sobriety Story

In this episode of Rock the Damn Boat, I’m opening up about my sobriety story — not from a place of perfection, but from honesty, growth, and self-discovery. This isn’t just about alcohol; it’s about the ways we all cope, distract, and numb ourselves from what’s really going on inside.I share what led me to reevaluate my relationship with drinking, what sobriety has taught me about control and connection, and how learning to feel instead of flee changed everything.If you’ve ever wondered whether your habits are helping you heal or keeping you stuck, this episode will invite you to look deeper — with compassion, not judgment.✨ Listen in for a real conversation about letting go of old coping mechanisms, finding peace in presence, and learning to thrive without the crutch of escape.🔗 Learn more at thrivewithchristy.comKeywords: sobriety journey, recovery podcast, mindful living, personal growth, emotional healing, self-awareness, coping mechanisms, midlife awakening, Rock the Damn Boat podcast
