Middle-Aged and Sober: Lisa and Jon’s Refreshing Take on Starting Over
“There are no barriers, there are no boundaries, and if there are barriers and boundaries, I have some tools that I didn't have when I was still drinking.”
Ever wondered what it’s like to embrace sobriety later in life? Lisa and Jon from 'That Sober Couple' share their unique journey of getting sober in middle age. Living together in a cozy apartment, they dive into the challenges and triumphs of starting fresh without alcohol. Lisa opens up about her struggles with the fear of missing out (FOMO) and how it kept her from seeking help sooner.
Once she did, she found a supportive community that helped her shed the guilt and shame that had been weighing her down.

Their candid conversation touches on the importance of asking for help, embracing imperfections, and finding joy in the present moment.
