My Basket of Sobriety Tools - with Robyn Denny

Ever wondered how someone can be sober and still enjoy life to the fullest? In this episode of Tribe Sober, Janet sits down with Robyn Denny, a long-time friend and a beacon of inspiration for many in the Tribe Sober community. Robyn's relationship with alcohol started before she was even born, as her mother drank during pregnancy—a time when the risks of foetal alcohol syndrome were not widely known.

Growing up, Robyn watched her accomplished mother become increasingly dependent on alcohol, which deeply affected her. By the age of 17, Robyn had developed her own serious wine habit, setting rules like 'only two glasses,' but often bending them by using larger glasses. Her journey to sobriety wasn't easy, but it was transformative. Robyn shares how she utilized various tools and techniques to aid her recovery—meditation, bodywork, and connecting with nature being among them.

She emphasizes the importance of calming the nervous system and finding what works best for each individual. Robyn also discusses the crucial role of having a supportive tribe in your journey to sobriety. She encourages listeners to reach out to communities like Tribe Sober or anyone who can offer support during tough times. Sometimes, she notes, it's just about weathering a brief storm.

Through self-reflection and building a solid foundation for life, Robyn believes anyone can overcome societal pressures to drink and find the strength within themselves to live an alcohol-free life. Join Janet and Robyn in this heartfelt episode as they explore the importance of crafting your own basket of sobriety tools and finding joy in a life without alcohol.
