Sobertown Podcast

Karina (Corinna) is a mental health nurse and author of 'The A-Z of Alcohol and Sobriety,' sharing her insights from professional experience and her personal journey to sobriety. She discusses her book's aim to provide accessible recovery tools and emphasizes that sobriety is not one-size-fits-all. The conversation touches on the importance of mindset in recovery, the detrimental physical effects of alcohol, and the need to normalize sobriety by challenging cultural norms. Karina also highlights the book’s format for easy reading and encourages community support.

Corinna sits with Nigel Jones to talk about his book and sobriety and have an absolutely amazing conversation!! "Aimed at millions of drinkers around the world who are interested in taking a break from alcohol, WALKING BACK TO HAPPINESS reveals the secret of how drinkers can free themselves from alcohol's control. Where the standard willpower method fails, this unique and easy-to-follow approach is proven to succeed. It shows how by quitting drinking you can transform your body, mind, life and find true happiness. The story of how a 50-something-year-old, who had been locked into the habit of drinking alcohol for over 35 years, finally woke up and said, "I want a different life"; how he found his purpose and in doing so transformed his mind and body; how he lost 30% of his body weight and made anxiety and sleepless nights a thing of the past. You don’t have to be an alcoholic to stop drinking. You just need to recognise that your relationship with alcohol can lead to life-changing issues – not just for you but for your loved ones, your work colleagues, in fact, everyone you are connected to. In WALKING BACK TO HAPPINESS, the author shares ALL the obstacles he faced, the wisdom he gained and the challenges he overcame during the first year of going alcohol-free. Set out in six sections: Time To Act - Day 1; The Journey Begins - The First Few Days; Discovering The New You - The First Few Weeks; Understanding The New You - The First Few Months; The New You - Beyond 90 Days; A New Life - One Year & Beyond. The book will help you: Identify your values; Cement your beliefs; Find your purpose; Reduce your anxiety; Lose weight; Improve your well-being; Discover the power of mindfulness & meditation; Be more present; Unleash your alcohol-free superpower; and Transform your mind & body". Each chapter covers: The Author’s Story; What He Learnt; Steps You Can Take; and Key Learning Summaries. “Nigel’s story is a brilliant example of how you can transform your health and happiness starting with one simple change - taking a break from alcohol.

My name is Doug, aka saddle_tramp on the IAS app.  Not my first rodeo, got exposed to AA and the concepts of recovery as a child of 21 in the USAF overseas.  Stayed clean and sober 3 weeks that time.  Many moons later, crawled back into AA, and discovered the concept of online recovery in the form of sober24.com, a most magical and wonderful place and time.  At this writing, I haven't had a drink since August 31, 2001, haven't smoked weed alcoholically since 9/9/2019, and haven't had a cigarette since last November.                                                                                                                                 Today, I owe my sobriety to a few local AA groups(Psychic Change in Auburn, Washington, the Edmonds Group, and Thursday Night Spiritual in Everett), my recovery circle at the Everett Recovery Cafe, the IAS app, and the kids from the app that started the whole zoom deal to supplement their recovery outside of the app.  I appreciate having the opportunity to be of service to the community here, and to meet so many of you as we trudge the sober trails together!   Other Sober Resources: I Am Sober App Getting Sober ...Again Boom Rethink The Drink Recovery Movie Meet-Ups No Sippy No Slippy.

Rai, Raul and Viv Sober_I_Thrive As we discuss “getting sober” in a Multi Cultural Diverse Community and how breaking our limiting beliefs within our cultural barriers of Addiction ❤️‍🩹 Recovery, could have stopped us from getting sober.  The making of “Sobersquad” as told by Raulito, who is one of the founding fathers and the Terrible 😢 Anxiety that plagued Rai to join the one and only Zoom at the time and why it took me so long to integrate myself on Zoom and my own personal cultural biases.  If you FEAR joining zooms this podcast is for YOU, we shared with so much vulnerability in hopes to reach out to those of you that feel alone, scared 😱 and FEAR WHAT OTHERS    Rai was born in Guam where both her parents were heavy drinkers, then moving stateside, she confesses that she has felt alone most of her life, but through sobriety she has grown into herself, finding her voice within her sober found family, She now strives to be as open and present as possible so that others may not feel as alone as she once did and is breaking the generational cycle of alcoholism within her own family with her son, Currently at age thirty she has 20 months of sobriety and hopes one day to become a published author.   My name is Raul aka Lil Raulito and I’m humbled by my strides in recovery.  I didn’t think I would ever be able to break away from my addiction yet here I sit a couple of weeks from hitting the 1000 day mark.  The reason I remain connected with our tribe is to give back what was freely given to me.  I want to be a representative of my Higher Power and share my message of strength and hope.  I can’t do this alone and I stay connected with the fellowship to stay sober.  Sometimes the fellowship lifts me up and at other times I’m part of helping others. I’m blessed to have found community and I’m grateful to be part of this community.   Other Sober Resources: I Am Sober App Getting Sober ...Again Boom Rethink The Drink Recovery Movie Meet-Ups No Sippy No Slippy.

Host: Viv aka Sober_iThrive Guest: Ashlee aka AshlsHere   About our Guest: Ashlee aka AshIsHere Ashlee's childhood and early twenties were an overall happy time that set a solid foundation for adulthood. She had a small taste of life's unpredictability in those formative years but was able to persevere with the support of her loved ones. Once she graduated college and began working full-time as a special education teacher, her drinking increased as all the social activities she was engaging in involved alcohol. A couple of life-altering events would send her into a tailspin in her late twenties. Although Ashlee had a wonderful upbringing, she lacked the social-emotional skills required to navigate through these stressful scenarios. Not knowing where to turn, her drinking habits became increasingly problematic. Ashlee walks you through how dark and lonely her life became and what measures she took to regain ownership of her life and start following her bliss. She also shares pieces of her experience having a partner who is also in recovery and how she and her husband have found success in their own individual journeys while simultaneously supporting each other.   Other Sober Resources: I Am Sober App Getting Sober ...Again Boom Rethink The Drink Recovery Movie Meet-Ups No Sippy No Slippy.
