Sobriety is not a destination, it's a journey. Covid-19 may be a detour, but it doesn't have to be a relapse.
The Covid-19 pandemic has upended daily life, making it especially tough for those in recovery. Isolation and stress can be major triggers for relapse, but in this episode of 'Six Second Sobriety', host PD shares his wisdom on staying sober during these challenging times. He kicks off by driving through his old neighbourhood, reflecting on his journey from his drinking days to now.

PD's message is clear: 'Sobriety is not a destination, it's a journey. Covid-19 may be a detour, but it doesn't have to be a relapse.'
