Have you ever thought, “I want to get sober”, but felt stuck on where to start? Or wondered about the benefits of getting sober?
This week, I’m diving into a deeply personal and inspiring conversation with Whitney Combs, a health and wellness coach specializing in addiction and recovery whose journey from binge drinking to empowered sobriety is nothing short of transformative.
Whitney gets real about her struggles with alcohol, anxiety, and depression, and how she took her first steps toward sobriety in 2017. Now, she’s using her experiences to help others build lives they no longer want to escape from. Whether you’re looking for help getting sober, or just curious about sobriety tips, this episode is packed with actionable insights and heartfelt advice.
What you’ll learn:
- The life-changing moment that pushed Whitney to say, “I want to get sober”, and how she stayed the course.
- Why your recovery doesn’t need to follow a straight line—and how to embrace the non-linear nature of sobriety from alcohol.
- The surprising connection between vulnerability and lasting sobriety—how sharing your story can heal you and others.
- How societal pressures around drinking may be holding you back—and what Whitney says is the first step to freedom.
- Whitney’s sobriety tips that might surprise you—and why it’s all about focusing on progress, not perfection.
Whether you’re searching for tips for getting sober or exploring the benefits of getting sober, this episode is for you. Whitney’s raw honesty and practical advice will inspire you to trust yourself, take that first step, and build a life you love.
