If you’ve been thinking, “I’m not that bad… but I’m also not okay,” this one’s for you. Today I’m talking with my dear friend Suzanne Warye—creator of The Sober Mom Life and author of The Sober Shift: A Modern-Day Guide to Living an Abundant Sober Life—about why sobriety can be less about “rock bottom” and more about reclamation. I asked Suzanne Warye, author of The Sober Shift, to share how to stop obsessing about “forever,” live in the present, and use simple shifts—like counting sober firsts—to build momentum without shame or perfection. She breaks down the mindset tools that actually helped her, why she says “sober for good” (for the good of your mind, relationships, presence), and how to keep going when your brain is screaming for the easy button.
