Life After Lockdown: Veronica Valli and Chip Somers on Staying Sober

If you just stop drinking and try and do it on willpower, eventually you come to a day where you either have A Bad Day or you're in a situation where everyone's drinking and you're just like, oh yeah, and I'll just have a drink then, and then, A Few Days Later, you're just right back where you started, where you don't want to be and confused as to how you got there.
The pandemic has thrown everyone for a loop, but for those in recovery, the challenges can be even greater. In this episode of 'Soberful', Veronica Valli and Chip Somers tackle the pressing issue of staying sober as we transition out of lockdown. With many of their Soberful Life members seeking advice, the duo dives into why preparation is the cornerstone of maintaining sobriety during these uncertain times.
They share personal experiences and reflections on the dual nature of lockdown—both its hardships and unexpected silver linings. One key message they stress is that willpower alone won't cut it; having a solid plan is essential. Whether it's setting boundaries with loved ones, finding new sober activities, or leaning on support groups, Veronica and Chip provide practical tips to navigate this new normal.
They also touch on the rise of hybrid work and education models, urging listeners to find a balance and avoid isolation. This episode is a blend of heartfelt advice and actionable steps, perfect for anyone feeling anxious about the post-lockdown world.
