What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? This week's episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast tackles the tricky waters of relationships and dating while maintaining sobriety. Mike and Glenn are joined by Jackie and Tommie for a candid chat over coffee, exploring the often-recommended advice of waiting a year into sobriety before diving into the dating pool. The conversation is as refreshing as a morning brew, filled with humour and real-life anecdotes that make you ponder your own experiences.
The group emphasises that honesty is the cornerstone of any relationship, especially when sobriety is involved. They share personal stories that highlight how 'comfort' doesn't always mean 'ready' and how even married couples need to invest time into their relationships. A particularly memorable moment is when they discuss the importance of having a trusted mentor or sponsor to guide you through the complexities of dating while sober.
Jackie shares her own journey, revealing that even after three years of sobriety, she still approaches dating with caution. Her perspective is a reminder that self-improvement should come before seeking a partner, and it's okay to take your time. Tommie adds his insights, stressing the value of being open about one's sobriety early in a relationship. This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone contemplating dating during recovery.
Whether you're single or married, there's something here for everyone who's navigating relationships while staying sober. So grab your coffee and tune in for some heartwarming and honest discussions. Do you think you're ready to date while maintaining your sobriety? This episode might just have the insights you need.
