Veronica Valli and I Discuss The Freedom of Sobriety and…

  • Her book, Soberful: Uncover a Sustainable, Fulfilling Life Free of Alcohol
  • That alcoholism is just a symptom of a deeper malaise
  • Her history with drugs and alcohol and how she got sober
  • The experience she had with drug-induced psychosis
  • Believing she had a very rare problem when everyone else was fine
  • How and when she discovered that she wasn’t alone in how she felt
  • Emotional unmanageability vs. emotional mastery
  • That behavior is the truest manifestation of how someone feels – we behave how we feel
  • The way our culture has normalized abnormal drinking
  • The question, “would my life be better if I wasn’t drinking?”
  • When you’re spending most of your time arguing with yourself about whether or not you have a problem with drinking, you’re missing out on the real and good stuff of life, including your own growth and discovery
  • Toxic positivity
  • Feeling comfortable in our own skin and having appropriate emotional responses to events
  • Emotional sobriety
  • The value of consistently having a framework in life
  • What to do if sobriety meetings feel overwhelming
