    The High School Brain in a 50-Year-Old Body: How Drinking Keeps You Emotionally Immature

    Are you emotionally mature—or just older? What if alcohol has been quietly freezing your emotional growth for decades? In this episode of Sobriety Snippets, I unpack a confronting truth: getting older doesn’t automatically make us emotionally mature. Alcohol may calm discomfort in the moment, but it quietly prevents us from developing the ability to handle rejection, shame, fear, and disappointment. So even at 40, 50, or 60, we can still react from old wounds formed decades ago. Sobriety isn’t just about stopping drinking—it’s about finally growing up emotionally.
