In this powerful episode of Sober Disclosure, we sit down with Noah as he shares his raw and real experience from the first year of his sobriety—the one that finally stuck. For Noah, that first year was a turning point, and he opens up about the key differences between this time and all the other attempts that didn’t work.
What did he do differently this time? How did he approach his recovery, and why did it finally click? His sponsor told him, "Don’t get emotions involved within that first year." Did Noah take that advice to heart? Did he follow the rule of no relationships in early recovery, or did he find himself navigating new emotional territory?
Noah gets candid about his challenges, the hard lessons he learned, and how his relationships (romantic and otherwise) played a pivotal role in his journey. Tune in for a deep dive into what it truly takes to make that first year count—and why it might be the hardest but most rewarding year of all.
