Do you relate? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ "We will grab hold of anything to release the pain." @runshills605 Cross addiction (or transfer addiction) is a common occurrence in recovery, and one that doesn't get talked about often enough. If you aren't dealing with the source of your pain, you're always going to be looking for another way to escape from it.  #soberpodcast #ultrarunner #addictionrecovery #copingskills #alcoholfreelife

"I should be able to figure this out on my own." "I'm not like those people at meetings." "I'm a productive, successful member of society. Not the kind of person that needs help getting sober." "I don't need to talk to a bunch of strangers about my problems." Are self sabotaging beliefs like these holding you back from actually staying sober and finding recovery? Listen to what Leah says about trying to get sober without any support. ⬆️⬆️⬆️ For more about overcoming self sabotaging behaviors, listen to this week's podcast episode: Self Sabotage & Recovery - and learn how you're getting in your own way (so you can stop!)

If you quit drinking and it feels boring... You haven't found the right way to spend your time yet. Those things you used to do that you think you miss, but you don't enjoy them anymore because you can't drink... you never enjoyed them anyway. The alcohol just made you think you did. It's time to find new things.

Listen to this gripping and poignant conversation we have with Melissa (aka The Sober New Yorker) and author and motivational speaker Martin Lockett, about how their journeys got them to the point of choosing to stop drinking, and what they wish they had known before they got to that point. Each of them shares their journey to recovery, and while their stories could not be more different, commonality is found beneath the surface, when we realize how important connection and compassion are when it comes to sharing our stories. It's always a pleasure to have you join us Martin! Love having you on and hearing your perspective! Keep up the amazing work you do!

Do I really need to stop drinking? Do I really have a problem? So many people google these questions that there are dozens of quizzes to help you decide whether your drinking is really bad enough that you need to stop. So our conversation today is about exactly that – how did you know that you really needed to stop drinking? And how do you deal with the idea of quitting forever, once you make the decision? Thank you so much @thesobernewyorker for joining us on the awesome season 2 finale of an episode!

Emotional intelligence (or “EQ”) is the ability to perceive, interpret, demonstrate, control, evaluate, and use emotions. Described this way, it’s easy to see the link between emotional intelligence and addiction. Dealing with challenging emotions is the number one cause of relapse, and for many of us who struggle with addictive behaviors, we never developed the skillset necessary to cope with these emotions in healthy ways. Meet @soberpress Hello! My name is Mike, I’m an alcoholic, dog person, designer, and human. My quit date is April 9, 2019. I’m originally from New Orleans and have lived in the south most of my life. However, I did live in Portland, Oregon for a while, where I started my career as an advertising Art Director. I now live in Austin, TX where I continued my career working for a large ad agency. I resigned from that job to pursue a career in freelancing. Just a few months after I got sober. Being newly sober and embarking on a whole new lifestyle was a bit crazy to make such a huge change early in sobriety, but I did it. It was a calculated decision. My counselor in IOP, my private counselor, and a social worker strongly recommended it as it was a trigger for my drinking and using weed. I founded SoberPress during the pandemic. It was an endeavor that helped me stay clean as I navigated being in isolation because of COVID-19. In August of 2020, I launched my Instagram page: @soberpress, and serendipitously found an amazing supportive community online. At the same time, I was working on establishing a blog soberpress.org where I would soon feature stories of recovery from around the world. I’m very much involved in the community holding ambassadorships, appearing in podcasts, running SoberPress on Facebook, and helping with SoberHope.

Her book is about addiction recovery and is titled “Make a Home Out of You: A Memoir.” It’s the idea that she made homes in people and substances instead of in herself, learning finally to make a home in herself.

With over 50 million views on his social media channels, Nick has become a thought leader in personal growth and change. He ranks in the top 10% of coaches worldwide. Nick had a (in his own words) less-than-ideal childhood. His father was an alcoholic, workaholic, se* abuser. The latter would later push Nick to his psychological end, which landed him in a hospital in 2009. After that, Nick struggled mightily to hold his life together but could not (or so he felt) battle the mounting demons and turned to drugs and alcohol to solve the problem. It did not solve the problem, and roughly 9 years later, a change had to be made. Nick willingly checked himself into rehab, and the PeopleDisPleaser was born. Since then, Nick has traveled the world, learning and helping others and communicating his journey. His love for seeing people grow and the “light bulb go on and then explode” is what he credits, his drive. Nick has formed and sold many companies and been very successful in business. His first entrepreneurial venture at age ten was door sales in his car wash company that would later net him enough money to buy fireworks for the Fourth of July. “My parents said we did not have any money. I knew that was a lie, but I went anyway. I have made my own money since.” If you ask Nick what he feels the key to success is, he would say, “Do the work. It is not fashionable or even slightly pret
