There's More to Me Than My Sobriety
This episode, Kate and Steph talk to Paige about when becoming sober takes over and becomes your main identity. They talk about the importance of connection, especially in early sobriety, as well as how the focus can potentially become addictive, especially when paired with social media. It’s about forging a new life sober, without making your new life only about sobriety.

Rethinking Rock Bottom
Some of us quit drinking because we recognise it’s become a problem for us, but what if others say you didn’t have a problem? And you didn’t even have a rock bottom? Do we need to be in the gutter, or jail, before people accept we have a bad relationship with alcohol? A high bottom is still a bottom. You get to decide when drinking becomes a problem. Nobody else.

Really love listening to this podcast and it’s so useful for those just starting out on their sober journey.
5 stars to the moon & back
Absolutely love this podcast I’ve listened from the start & each week gets better I’m 6 1/2 months into my journey of a life without alcohol & listening to your stories & the stories of your guests is just so educational.
My favourite line so far is as if it’s come from my own thoughts (talking about moderating! “ B I don’t want to do it “
Thank you both for all your time & effort it definitely has a sober effect.
