Ep. 321: Being Single, Dating, Drinking And The Winding Road To Sobriety - Kim’s Story

About this episode

Kim shares her journey of navigating sobriety while single and dating, discussing the challenges and changes she experienced.

If you've ever worried that stopping drinking will make you less fun, less attractive, or less likely to find your person, this conversation is for you. In this SSK Member Story episode, I'm talking with my friend Kim, who I've known for more than a decade. We met in early sobriety and have stayed connected through years of growth, setbacks, day ones, and hard-won lessons. Kim shares her experience navigating sobriety while single, dating, and searching for connection. We talk openly about loneliness, self-abandonment, social anxiety, attachment patterns, and the belief that alcohol was necessary to fit in, be desirable, or find love. Most importantly, we talk about what finally changed.
