Finding Freedom on Your Own Terms: The Concept of Sober•ish

In this episode, I am joined by the lovely Holly Krivo, and we discuss the topic of 'sober-ish'. She defines sober•ish as finding freedom from alcohol on your own terms, whether that means total abstinence or moderation. Holly and I each share our sober•ish journeys, and found many commonalities.
Holly shares her personal experience how she decided to give up alcohol for 70 days and found that her life improved in many ways and is now on day 1000. She emphasizes the importance of intention, choosing oneself over alcohol, and being present in relationships. Holly also discusses the social pressure to drink and the need to trust oneself and make decisions that align with personal values.
Finally, Holly highlights the transformative power of keeping promises to oneself and the importance of self-love and forgiveness.
