Without check-ins I don't think I would have made the progress that I've made.
Have you ever wondered if having a sober buddy could make a difference in your journey to quit drinking? In this episode of Tribe Sober, Janet Gourand chats with Lynne Brown, a Sober Buddy Mentor, who shares her personal story and the profound impact of having a supportive companion on the path to sobriety. Lynne, who moved from the UK to South Africa 20 years ago, never hit rock bottom but realized she always felt below par.
She knew giving up alcohol would boost her health, and it did—improving her sleep and allowing her to enjoy food more. Lynne's journey led her to become a volunteer alcohol counselor in the UK and a mentor at Tribe Sober. Lynne discusses the surge in alcohol problems during the pandemic and the unique challenges of quitting drinking in lockdown, when social opportunities were limited.
She highlights how Tribe Sober's workshops, check-ins, and accountability measures provide essential support for those looking to stay alcohol-free. Her key advice? Take it one day at a time and seek out support whenever you need it. Lynne's insights are not just about quitting alcohol but about reconfiguring your life to thrive without it. If you're curious about how a sober buddy could help you or someone you love, this episode is a must-listen.
