About Sobertown
Sobertown is a growing community of like-minded people in recovery helping others start or maintain their sobriety.
We refer to ourselves as “Sober Warriors” because the fight against addiction is a grisly battle that takes no prisoners. Real people die every day from complications and repercussions of long-term alcohol use, a tragic end that is 100% preventable through increased awareness and connection.
Alcohol is so pervasive and normalized in our culture that it often gets a free pass into our lives when it’s really a cancer-causing drug that can slowly wreak havoc on all states of our well-being: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, environmental, vocational, and intellectual.
But we’re not here simply to shine a light on alcohol’s ugly side.
We’re forming a village of sober individuals from all walks of life that share a common goal - to support others in recovery while also increasing the dialogue around the many positive aspects of sobriety versus the darkness of addiction.

Hypomania and mania are symptoms of bipolar disorder. In this podcast, Drifter interviews CeeCce (who has been living with bipolar disorder for 15 years) and dives deeper into the world of bipolar disorder and how it relates to addiction recovery. Hypomania and mania are elevated mood states wherein addiction and destructive patterns of behaviour can run rampant. Both CeeCee and Drifter share their personal experiences with mania, the impact of rapidly fluctuating moods, and how their choice to be sober has enhanced their understanding of mental health. Managing your mood and cravings can be enhanced through awareness and strategy. Recommendations on how to do this are offered, so have a listen!
CeeCee has been figuring out have to live with Bipolar Disorder for 15 years, which has recently entailed choosing an alcohol free lifestyle. She describes herself as a spiritual enthusiast, empath, and a wannabe morning person.
In addition to being an avid talker, CeeCee is also a prolific journal writer and blogger. Her first book, a mental health memoir, is currently in progress.
CeeCee is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200), a Reiki practitioner, and holds certifications in qi gong, and various forms of meditation. She is a mental health advocate, a math teacher by day, a believer in miracles and a mom.
When she isn’t writing, in therapy, cleaning or meditating, CeeCee can usually be found flossing, dancing like no one is watching or reading. She loves the colour pink, is fascinated by flamingos and gets giddy over snow. She relies heavily on affirmation cards and coffee to get through the day.
CeeCee lives in Atlantic Canada with her highly intuitive 7 year old daughter, her non-husband who is only mildly amused by her jokes and an overly affectionate cat.
Brevity is not her strong suit

Jo11 Off the Cuff With Drifter,
Normally I like to keep these segments around 30 minutes. But this was a really serious discussion with Jo11 concerning her struggles recently in her sober journey and I just didn't want to stop. Jo11 is fighting several battles at once. Obviously her addiction, then accepting where she's at in her journey, battling self esteem and then hormones on top of everything else.
Jo11, Thank you for coming on the Sobertown Podcast and talking about all this. I know you well, you're way out of your comfort zone and you still did this hoping to help someone else! That's Selflessness!
You are so Beautiful and wonderfully amazing! I really pray that one day you see what we see and learn to Love you as You!
