Love Sober Podcast 137 One Year Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them

Kate and Mandy get in the same room! Recording together in London, and at the request of one of our US listeners, we reflect back on our one year milestones, why we went back to drinking and discuss tips for people approaching their soberversaries, and how to stay the course and push through that year mark.  This one year soberversary time is so often laden with expectation and anxiety as well as feelings of pride and achievement. How do we navigate the transition from the first year to year two?  What should we expect of ourselves? Why is it a thing? Surely we should be bossing it by now? What was missing? Our expectations and minds can hinder more than help at this delicate time for sure.  So in this episode, we talk about things that tripped us us and what we have learned along the way in terms of stress management, support, boundaries and our on ongoing journeys in the hopes that it resonates with anyone out there feeling the wobbles.  If you love the Love Sober Podcast and it’s helped you get, stay or  love sober please support us to keep going by giving £1 per episode at https://www.patreon.com/lovesoberpod Grab a cuppa and let’s chat.  Love Kate & Mandy
