from The Sober Connection · host Abi King
In today’s episode, I am joined by Ryan — also known as The Sober Kiwi — to talk about his journey with alcohol, what led him to make a change, and what life looks like on the other side.What I love about this conversation is how real and grounded it is. There’s no big dramatic story here — just honest reflections on mindset, habits, and the quiet shifts that can completely change the direction of your life.We talk about: What his relationship with alcohol used to look like The moment things started to shift The realisation that it's the first drink that often gets us into trouble What early sobriety was actually like for him How his identity, health, and daily life have changed since going alcohol-free And what it’s like choosing sobriety in a culture where drinking is still so normalised Ryan also shares his perspective as someone who’s experienced different drinking cultures, and how that’s shaped his journey.If you’ve ever found yourself questioning your relationship with alcohol — but not quite sure where you fit — this episode will feel very relatable.Get in touch:RyanInstagram @ryanthesoberkiwiAbi30 Days to Freedom - A Gentle ResetAvailable here - www.levelupsobrietycoaching.com/30-days-to-freedom-reset/Instagram @levelup.withabiEmail [email protected] links: Terps & Co. www.drinkterps.co.nz - enter code ABI20 for 20% off storewideI use Riverside.fm for my podcast editing software.
