Can You Burnout In Sobriety?
In this week’s episode, Tom and Jamie dive deep into a topic that hits close to home - summer burnout. We often think that being sober shields us from the effects of hangovers, but unfortunately, that's not the case. The packed schedules, constant socialising, and sheer number of summer events can lead to burnout before we even realise it. It’s crucial for us, as sober individuals, to recognise that burnout can affect us just as much as anyone else. Join Tom and Jamie as they reflect on their recent experiences, share how they cope when feeling overwhelmed, and discuss the similar challenges you might face on your own sobriety journey.Our Patreon is now live at: https://www.patreon.com/theythinkitsallsoberFollow us on socials - https://www.instagram.com/thinkitsallsober or email us at theythinkitsallsober@gmail.com
