Ep. 40 Claire Robbie - 'Feel The Fear and Go Sober Anyway'

Claire Robbie is the founder of the School of Modern Meditation, or somewhere she runs meditation classes and workshops in New Zealand. Claire also works with clients one on one to help them go sober, helping their clients better understand their relationship with alcohol as a coping mechanism and giving them tools towards becoming sober. In this episode, we hear about Claire's journey, which led her from regular drinking and drug consumption to her first year of sobriety and regular meditation. We talk about alcohol and other substances as a form of distraction, cultivating your ability to sit with your feelings of awkwardness, anxiety, fear, or shame, understanding the minds coping mechanisms. And we tackle ways in which we can move through varying forms of problems with substances such as alcohol, coffee, food, or even shopping.
