Why I Don’t Do Sober October and The Truth About Quick Fix Sobriety

In episode 35 of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I’m sharing my honest thoughts about Sober October (and Dry January) and why I personally don’t participate in them.Before you think I’m a hater, let me explain. These month-long alcohol-free challenges can be a great starting point for awareness, but sobriety and recovery go so much deeper than 30 days without drinking. For many of us, it’s not about a reset, it’s about saving our lives.I talk about what real recovery looks like, the emotional and mental layers beyond “just not drinking,” and why any day, not just a calendar month, is a good day to choose sobriety.“When it comes to addiction for most, it’s a matter of life and death. So any day is a good day to get sober and save your life.” — meTo Connect with Courtney:InstagramFree Resources The NETT by Rebecca Edwards*The workshop mentioned in this episode is no longer available 🎧 Hosted by Courtney Andersen — Sober Coach, Author of Sober Vibes: A Guide to Thriving in Your First Three Months Without Alcohol, and Founder of the Sober Vibes community.👉 For more support, 1:1 coaching, and resources, visit courtneyrecovered.com or join my membership, Sobriety Circle, for meetings, workshops, and a supportive community of women living alcohol-free.Thank you for listening!
