Welcome back to a very special episode of the Wellbeing Provocateur Podcast, launching just in time as we round out the last week of Dry July.
It’s an interview I did with Claire Robbie, Director of The School of Modern Meditation, back in June 2024.
I met Claire on a silent and meditation retreat she hosted in 2020, where I learned to mediate and then a few months later I started working with Claire on The Alcohol Reset programme after realising I was unable to moderate.
In this exclusive Sober Session, I speak to Claire about my sobriety journey as a process. And what a process it has been! Claire also shares her experiences on her path to sobriety too – the same stories that inspired me to get to this point.
This is a really open conversation for anyone who might be struggling, or who's fallen off the wagon and lost some momentum.
We go on all sorts of tangents but the some of the things we cover include:
· My initial attempts at sobriety and the role of relapses in the recovery process
· The impact of sobriety on my personal and professional life
· Positive changes experienced after achieving sobriety
· Importance of meditation, self-awareness, self-improvement and continuous learning
· The role of accountability and a supportive environment
· Strategies to handle relapses and get back on track
· Recommendations and resources for others on the sobriety path
· Encouragement for others to pursue a sober lifestyle
Whether you’re doing Dry July or just sober curious, settle in and enjoy our conversation.
I would love to know if you are currently on your sober journey or thinking of becoming alcohol free and what stood out for you the most in this episode? You can reach out to Claire or myself via the links below.
