E78: How To Build a Sobriety Support Network

If you're feeling alone in your sober journey, if you're wishing you had some extra sobriety support, this sober podcast episode is for you. We've gathered three inspiring women to share with us how they've built a sober support network that works for them. The conversation explains perfectly how no one recovery journey is the same as any other, and how our needs for support in recovery are as unique as our journeys. Listen as we chat with TikToker Taylor, Courtney, author of The One Brought Back , and Through the Glass regular Sherralynn, and discovery many new resources that you can use to build a sobriety support network of your very own.

"Online strangers saved my life."

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• The I Am Sober app and community where Steve, Julie, and Sherralynn all met
• Why it's important to find people who are also in recovery, so they can relate to your experiences
• How to find online meetings (like the ones we host!)
• The pros ad cons of telling your immediate family and friends right away
• Courtney's journey through court ordered rehab, AA, and other recovery programs and how it was helpful for her
• How your church family can provide sobriety support
• Figuring out where you feel the most safe, so that you can be vulnerable
• How people who aren't in recovery just don't understand, and how that's okay
• The importance of continuing to experiment with new sources of support, as you continue to grow on your journey
• Not knowing what to expect at a support meeting, and what it's really like when you finally do show up

"I didn't want to be the kind of person who needed to go to meetings."
