Floating Through the Doldrums: Staying Steady in Sobriety Ep 14

Ever hit a stretch in life—or sobriety—where nothing feels like it’s moving? That in-between space where the excitement fades, the grind feels endless, and you start wondering if you’ve lost your edge? This episode is all about that.

 Anne and Chris dive into what they call the doldrums—those flat, windless seasons where progress stalls and purpose feels fuzzy. Drawing lessons from both sports and recovery, they unpack how to keep floating when momentum disappears, why “not moving” isn’t the same as “failing,” and what it really means to find the wind again in your life after sport. If you’ve ever felt stuck, restless, or unsure what’s next in your alcohol-free journey, this one will hit home.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • How to recognize when you’ve hit the doldrums in sport, sobriety, or life • Why forcing progress often keeps you stuck—and what to do instead • The difference between rest and resistance (and why both matter) • How to rebuild confidence and direction when motivation fades • Practical tools and “flotation devices” for staying grounded during slow seasons

Listen now and learn how to float through the stillness until you find the wind again.
