Sober Transitions: Navigating Life After Alcohol

Navigate those awkward in-between moments in sobriety. Learn to handle social firsts, shifting routines, and identity changes with practical tools and community support.

Sober Transitions: Navigating Life After Alcohol

Life after alcohol isn't always smooth sailing. Maybe it's your first sober wedding. Or your first weekend that feels

weirdly empty

. Or a Tuesday afternoon where you're hit with an identity crisis out of nowhere.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone - and you don't have to figure it out solo.

This masterclass is all about those in-between moments that don't always get spoken about: the transitions. The ones that can feel a bit awkward, a bit tricky, or just plain uncomfortable.

Watch the recording to learn:

✅ What to do when your routine shifts (and your cravings follow)

✅ How to stay grounded during social "firsts" without booze

✅ Why your brain loves structure - and how to work

✅ How to show up (even awkwardly!) in social situations

✅ The power of community when things feel shaky
