Have an episode suggestion? Text us!

Getting sober is one thing. Staying sober - living sober in a world where alcohol is everywhere - is another challenge entirely. In this episode of Mindset Monday, Matt dives into what it really looks like to be sober day-to-day, from battling boredom and navigating social situations to understanding the brain science behind why everything feels flat at first.

Matt shares practical strategies, personal stories, and the mindset shifts that carried him through the hard moments: why cravings pass in 15 minutes, how to survive your “firsts” without alcohol, and how to make sobriety part of your identity rather than a punishment. You’ll hear about transitional addictions, why consistency matters more than perfection, and why the phrase “I don’t drink” is so much more powerful than “I can’t drink.”

Whether you’re new to recovery or years in, this episode is about more than avoiding alcohol - it’s about building a life you don’t want to escape from.
