Welcome to this special series on Laughing Without Liquor! In an effort to introduce our listeners to our new show, You're Sober, Now What?, we’re sharing the entire first season right here. Going forward, new seasons and episodes will be available exclusively on the new podcast channel. We hope you’ll join us on this transformative journey that dives deeper into long-term sobriety and personal growth. If you enjoy these episodes, be sure to subscribe to You're Sober, Now What?on your favorite podcast platform for more inspiring content.
In this episode, we dive into the critical aspects of identifying and managing triggers—what we like to call "sparks." Lane and Tamar share personal experiences and strategies for recognizing and dealing with sparks in daily life, providing practical advice for those in all stages of recovery.
Key Points:
Routine Adjustments:
Tamar discusses the importance of changing daily activities that were previously associated with drinking.
Loneliness as a Spark:
Lane emphasizes how loneliness can be a significant trigger and suggests ways to cope without resorting to harmful behaviors.
Support Systems:
The hosts highlight the value of a supportive community and explore various options beyond traditional recovery groups.
