This blog is where I document what comes after the decision to stop drinking. The real stuff. The inner shifts, the outer challenges, and the unexpected joys that show up when we choose presence over numbing and growth over comfort.
As The Sober Sherpa, I’ve made it my mission to help others turn recovery into their greatest adventure.
