“The reason why we get sober to begin with is because we're going through hell. And if you're going through hell, you don't unpack your shit and stay there. You keep going. You keep marching forward.”
Ever wonder why the reasons we start our sobriety journey often change over time? In this episode of 'The Sober Plug', Connor Duffy takes us through the transformative process of moving from needing to be sober to actually wanting it.
