Picture yourself in a cozy coffee shop, chatting with friends about life, recovery, and the power of storytelling. That’s exactly what you'll get in this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, where hosts Mike and Glenn welcome author Will Thatcher. Will isn't just any writer; he's someone who turned his personal journey of sobriety into a creative outlet, producing a gripping novel titled 'Killing Hurt'. This isn't your typical self-help book aimed at getting people sober.
Instead, it's a piece of fiction meant purely for entertainment, yet it resonates deeply with those on the path to recovery. Will shares how his five and a half years of sobriety and consistent journaling evolved into a compelling narrative. It all started when he felt a pang of jealousy towards his sponsor's creative outlet in acting. That envy sparked an idea—why not turn his own recovery experiences into a novel? And so, 'Killing Hurt' was born.
Throughout the episode, Mike and Glenn dive into the growing genre of addiction fiction. They discuss how stories like Will's can provide both entertainment and subtle support for those navigating sobriety. It's not just about the plot; it's about seeing parts of your own journey reflected in the characters and scenarios. The conversation also touches on The Sober Curator, a platform dedicated to addiction fiction.
This site aims to offer engaging reads that also convey valuable life lessons and relatable experiences for those in recovery. By the end of this episode, you'll see how finding a creative outlet can be a powerful tool in maintaining sobriety. Whether you're an avid reader or someone looking for new ways to stay engaged in your recovery journey, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the role of storytelling in healing.
