Jerry and Tanya, the dynamic duo behind 'Sober on Purpose', are back with another thought-provoking episode. This time, they tackle the ups and downs of life’s challenges, especially those faced in sobriety. Jerry recounts his early struggles with cravings and the desperate prayers that helped him find strength. Meanwhile, Tanya shares her own journey, from crying in closets to screaming in showers, as a means to process emotions without affecting her kids.
Together, they reflect on the importance of facing challenges head-on, rather than seeking an escape. The episode dives into the importance of trust within relationships, especially when financial struggles and past lies have created barriers.

Whether it's finding solace in prayer or simply trying something new, this episode reminds us that growth often comes from walking through the valley of difficulty. So, if you're looking for real-life tips on tackling life's hurdles while staying sober, this episode is packed with wisdom and hope. How will you prepare yourself for the challenges ahead?
