Ever felt like you're missing out when you choose sobriety? In this episode of Sobertown Podcast, guest hosts Sara Malloy and Elaine Skylar Neal flip the script on that feeling.

Through their own stories and reflections, they highlight how stepping back and setting boundaries can lead to real joy and contentment. The episode isn't just about avoiding the next drink; it's about finding small victories and true happiness in a sober life. You'll hear about the importance of self-care, letting go of what society thinks you should be doing, and even how to teach kids the difference between wants and needs.

Sara and Elaine's conversation is a refreshing take on how missing out can actually mean truly living. Tune in to discover how embracing JOMO can help you thrive in your sobriety journey.
