Early sobriety can feel surprisingly quiet.

You’re doing everything “right”—not drinking, showing up to work, paying bills—but inside, something feels off. Not sad. Not depressed. Just… lonely. Empty. Bored.

If you’ve ever found yourself sitting on the couch, scrolling on your phone and wondering, “Is this what sobriety is?”—this episode is for you.

In this episode of Sobriety Now What, Stuart shares a simple but powerful story about a man who realized that alcohol used to fill more than cravings—it filled time, structure, and connection. When that disappeared, loneliness rushed in.

You’ll learn:

• Why loneliness and boredom are common—and temporary—phases in sobriety
• How isolation quietly increases relapse risk (without you realizing it)
• Why waiting for motivation doesn’t work—and what does
• The “One Connection Rule”: a gentle, doable way to rebuild meaning and belonging
• Practical ideas for connection that don’t feel overwhelming or forced

Sobriety isn’t just about removing alcohol—it’s about rebuilding a life that feels worth staying sober for.

If you’re in that uncomfortable in-between space where the old life is gone and the new one hasn’t fully formed yet, this episode will remind you: this too will pass—and life really does get better.

🎧 Listen now and take one small step out of isolation and back into life.
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to do this perfectly to thrive.
