I’m sober, what now? Is a question Judi and Amanda ask this week’s guest Christine Wayne. Surviving a heart attack in her thirties, Christine has a unique outlook on life, health, and what it means to be able to ask for help when we truly need it. Christine shares her story, and touches on how her experience affects the way she looks at sobriety today. Plus, the ladies talk about how the term “ alcoholic” can be an obstacle for some people seeking help, how to be confident in your alcohol free lifestyle, and what it means to be a “dry drunk”.
Today on Yes, And:
- How Christine’s heart attack at age 37 intersected with her sobriety
- Why society shames alcohol free living
- Being sober but still holding onto addictive behaviors
- How to deal with triggers when they come up in your life
Top 3 Quotes:
- Sobriety is not abstinence. Most of the time when someone is a “dry drunk”, it’s simply abstinence without recovery tools.
- Alcoholic… it was this word that I believe held me back from getting help for a decade.
- I thought the servers were gonna go in the back and make fun of me. No one gives a f*ck. You never know who’s listening. You could be inspiring someone at that bar to go, “Oh my god. Look at that girl.”
