Summary
Today I’m joined by my colleague Monica. She’s the Community Manager for Tribe Sober and she’s also celebrating her 5th Soberversary next week. I’ve known Monica since her first Day One and it’s giving me such joy to walk alongside her on this life changing journey. In this conversation, we explored: Why so many people struggle for years before reaching out for help The trap of trying to do it alone Why relapse is part of the learning process The importance of community and connection in recovery How mindset — not willpower — is the key to lasting change The danger of “I can have just one” thinking Practical tips for getting started Monica shares powerful advice for anyone at the beginning of their journey:👉 Don’t try to do it alone👉 Treat sobriety as a project👉 Plan your alcohol-free life, not your drinking👉 Stay connected and keep showing up👉 And most importantly — don’t try harder, try different This episode is a reassuring reminder that there is no such thing as failure — only learning — and that with persistence, curiosity, and the right support, lasting change is possible.
