Alcohol is a bad relationship that we need to let go. But when we keep it as alcohol, oh no, I'm supposed to have my life back together in Seven Days.
Ever thought about breaking up with alcohol like you would with a toxic ex? In this episode of 'Sober & Shameless', hosts Taylor Klinger and Eric Andrew are joined by their first guest, Cassie, who took her last drink in August 2019. Together, they dive into the concept of 'Dear John letters' as a symbolic way to end their tumultuous relationship with alcohol. Cassie shares her one regret in early sobriety: not writing a breakup letter to alcohol.
This sparks a deep conversation about how alcohol can feel like a comforting but ultimately harmful partner. Taylor and Eric reflect on their own journeys, discussing how time can make us forget the pain and romanticize the past. They draw parallels to how women often forget the pain of childbirth, only to consider doing it again. The trio also delves into practical strategies for managing cravings and the grieving process that comes with letting go of alcohol.
With humor and honesty, they explore the emotional rollercoaster of early sobriety and the importance of building meaningful connections in a new, alcohol-free life. If you're curious about how to say goodbye to alcohol for good, this episode offers heartfelt insights and relatable stories that might just inspire you to write your own 'Dear John letter'.
