This week I'm tackling a question many people find themselves asking (and worrying about) after they get sober: am I boring now? You might find you have a limited social battery since getting sober, or that you're not wanting to go out and socialize as much as you did when you were drinking. Maybe you're finding you want to mostly hibernate and stay in, or you don't even know what "fun" looks like for you anymore. The truth is: you are NOT boring in sobriety... you're just redefining what "fun" means for you and rediscovering how you like to spend your time! If you're navigating these doubts and worries, this episode is full of reminders to help you move through this season of your sober journey.Join my community, the Happiest Sober HubSubscribe to my newsletter for sober tips & inspoWatch my sober vlogsShop my sober mugsFollow me on InstagramShop my Amazon storefrontShopMy favourite thingsIf my content has helped you on your sober journey and you'd like to support my work, you can buy me a coffee!Thanks for supporting my podcast by supporting my sponsors - you can view my list of current sponsors here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

#144 How to Let Go of FOMO in Sobriety
This week, I'm sharing my top tips for letting go of FOMO (the fear of missing out) in sobriety! The truth is, when we get sober, we STOP missing out on our lives... not the other way around! In this episode I share plenty of mindset tips to help you reframe your FOMO to sober gratitude, and to turn it into JOMO (the *joy* of missing out).Join my community, the Happiest Sober HubSubscribe to my newsletter for sober tips & inspoWatch my sober vlogsShop my sober mugsFollow me on InstagramShop my Amazon storefrontShopMy favourite thingsIf my content has helped you on your sober journey and you'd like to support my work, you can buy me a coffee!Thanks for supporting my podcast by supporting my sponsors - you can view my list of current sponsors here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
