In this insightful episode of the Happiest Sober Podcast, host Mike Bloom delves into the challenges and triumphs of early sobriety. Drawing from personal experiences, he shares actionable tips and advice for those embarking on their sober journey. The number one question he receives is, 'How did you start?' Reflecting on his own path, Mike emphasizes the importance of starting with small, manageable steps.
One of the key takeaways is the use of sober apps to track progress and celebrate every milestone, no matter how small. Celebrating these victories fosters a sense of accomplishment and keeps motivation high. Additionally, Mike highlights the importance of self-care routines, such as skincare and daily hygiene, which became a source of joy in his sobriety. Community plays a vital role in maintaining sobriety.
Mike shares how engaging with a sober community on social media provided both accountability and support. He encourages listeners to focus on daily goals to prevent overwhelming feelings and 'future tripping,' which can detract from the present moment. Mike's journey underscores the significance of mental health support. He introduces RULA, a platform that partners with over 100 insurance plans to provide affordable therapy options.
Mental health care should be accessible to all, and RULA makes it easier for individuals to find therapists that meet their needs. The episode is a heartfelt reminder that while the early days of sobriety can be challenging, they are also filled with opportunities for growth and transformation. Mike stresses that the journey is worth it, and with time, sobriety becomes a cherished, protective aspect of life.
For those seeking guidance, his stories offer hope and encouragement to push through the tough times and embrace the rewarding path of sobriety.
