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.

Diet, Vitamins, exercise and SupplementsPositive Recovery with Corinna In recovery, we start to realize just how much we let nearly every area of our life go. How we stopped looking after ourselves and meeting even some of our basic needs. We know sobriety isn’t just putting down the drink, although that can actually help with nutrition. But, like everything else, we have to work it. In today’s podcast, I look at different types of diet, cross addiction, exercise and Craig Becks suggested vitamin regime to help quit alcohol Keep focusing on controlling the things you can and not resisting the things you cannot Www.sobertownpodcast.com 🍵🫖☕️💦 Chin Chin💖🙋🏻♀️

April is Child Abuse Awareness month, and the connections between abuse and alcohol are many. In Episode 10 of the Rewired podcast, Rai joins Julie and Steve for a second time, where she courageously shares her own story of childhood abuse, and explains how through self compassion, and compassion for the people in her life, she was able to work through long-held resentments. In doing so, she was able to recover from her own addiction to alcohol.

Grief is how the brain processes loss, however, it does not process emotions in any particular order, intensity or time. Like sobriety, grief is a very personal experience. You have to learn to navigate and self manage. Also important is we have to process and 'feel' grief and what to do with it. Listen to the experience from our IAS friends, Squirrel Monkey, Break_ground and Polly.

Erin Eileen’s Story
King 13 has is always impressed by these young men and women who join the IAS community, bravely turn up at zooms and contribute to the community. They have become aware and taken responsibility for their sobriety. We may think that having grown up with 'no alcohol' in the home would influence children not to drink. Not the case, Erin tells how she got involved with drinking, what drove her into the IAS community and the sheer work she did in 2021 to maintain 328 days AF. Erin considers herself a feminist and I see her passion for equality. We women have to support each other, it is key. TAKE ACTION RIGHT THIS MINUTE and pour the poison down the sink!Go to Sobertownpodcast.com start your new full life.

Boom Rethink the Drink,
Yesterday I had a chance to talk with my friend Drifter for his Sober Town Podcast. It was International Women's Day so we had planned to talk about the toxicity of alcohol marketing directed at women, but after a couple of days of multiple postings in our communities on the deadly result of alcohol addiction, we decided instead to focus on the questions of "how do you stop drinking before it goes too far?" - "how do you help someone you love who seems lost to the bottle?" Drifter and I have both lost brothers to their addictions and we have both found solid dry ground after breaking out of our addictions. Do we have the answers to these questions with the years of personal experience we both have as the addicted and the loved one of the addict? We came up with two answers by the end of our talk and those answers were all about beacons and light houses. My beacons that guided me to stop drinking and stay sober were young and old and somewhere in between. We all grew up with the basic premise that handling our liquor was a badge of courage in cultures and families that celebrate drinking hard and handling it. Cultures and families that laugh at hangovers, distrust sobriety, celebrates the drug and shame the addict. All of us started drinking as a right of passage from childhood into adulthood. Some of us waited until we came of age and some of us started drinking younger but in one way or another we were mimicking the behavior of the adults that we knew. Maybe we admired their ability to function highly, to handle their booze, or maybe we said we’d never drink like they did, but drink we did because that is what adults do. Those adults were our beacons and we followed where they led us. It makes perfect sense that to find another path beacons of a different sort are needed. And it makes perfect sense that those of us who have fought our way out of addiction after helplessly watching loved ones die- chose to be lighthouses -- join us for our conversation and find the links to the communities and articles we discuss in the Boozemusings post below.
