Why I Quit Drinking: My Sober-ish Journey
Manage episode 452208599 series 1864071
257: “There is like a deeper, deeper wisdom and voice calling me to be like ‘Chelsea, there is a next version of you waiting to unlock and it is sitting there ready to f***ing go. It has like a fire burning and it just needs you to be clear and focus and bright and zesty’. And I don't think of any of those words when I think of me drunk. ” - Chelsea Riffe
In this episode, Chelsea opens up about her journey to becoming sober-ish, from her party-girl college days to navigating sobriety as an adult. She shares what prompted her to reexamine her relationship with alcohol and how she's building a life that truly aligns with her values.
Snippets from the episode:
- "I realized that my identity was so tied to drinking—it was how I socialized, celebrated, and even coped with emotions I didn’t want to face."
- "When I started tracking my spending, I saw how much money I was pouring into nights out, hangover food, and Ubers. It wasn’t aligned with my financial or personal goals."
- "Morocco was a turning point—it showed me I could live a full and joyful life without alcohol being the center of everything."
- "I’ve started pouring my energy into hobbies like pottery, boxing, and soap-making—activities that fill my time and make me feel more connected to myself."
- "The more I step into this sober-ish journey, the more I see how supportive and understanding my community can be—it’s a reminder that you don’t have to do this alone."
Sobriety isn’t about perfection; it’s about choosing what aligns with your values and the life you want to create. Take it step by step, and remember that every small win is a vote for your authentic self!
