Eric Stonestreet says he's been sober for three and a half years. He was on an adult kickball team probably three years of sobriety and we won the championship. When they saw him getting shots, people were like "Oh shit great job that's incredible no way we'll take the shot" But if you're standing your authority and know who you are as I mentioned a part of an addiction is to connect you with your more authentic self then you're gonna be okay. Eric also talks about how dating has changed since quitting drinking.
Eric is joined by special guests Gillian Tietz, Laura Cathcart Robbins, and Paul Churchill where they share their experiences in early sobriety. While each of their journeys is unique, there is also a shared understanding of what it’s like in those first days of recovery. This episode will provide helpful insights, inspiration, and hope from those who have lived through such painful experiences and have come out on the other side to share what they've learned, including...
