I think it's gonna take a lot for me, not just I think it's gonna take sober talk, it's gonna take a zoom meeting with AA, it's gonna take a therapist, and my deal is just trying to get happy and content, not wrestlers like our friend Natalie is right now.
Imagine a comedian who’s recently sober, using his platform to talk openly about addiction and recovery. That’s Tom Mabe for you. In this episode of Sober Talk, Tom dives into the raw and real aspects of staying sober. He doesn’t just share his own journey; he opens the floor to others who are walking the same path.

Tom also touches on the hidden dangers of gambling addiction, making this episode a must-listen for anyone facing multiple challenges. One of the standout moments is when Tom says, 'When I'm sober, I'm a week away from buying an airplane. When I'm drinking, I'm a week away from being homeless'. His honesty is both jarring and refreshing. With the pandemic making in-person meetings tough, Tom highlights the value of virtual support systems like Zoom meetings.
He also shares how finding hobbies can bring joy and contentment in sobriety. Whether you’re just curious about sobriety or deep into your recovery journey, this episode offers a blend of humor, empathy, and practical advice that’s hard to find elsewhere.
