I’m a Soberful Facebook member and came over to listen to Laura McKeown “We are the Luckiest “ episode. . Excellent interview..Veronica and Chip have helped me maintain 2 1/2 years of contented sobriety. Their insight/advice is straightforward and direct..I’m grateful that I stumbled into the Soberful group.
***edit-I am now 9 years sober 9/7 and I am holding Chip in my heart. C & V / Soberful have been a huge help to my clients as a sober coach as well
Really look forward to this podcast, only found it a few months ago , but love the content, and both Veronica and Chip are so open and honest, they really help in my sobriety journey. Thank you
I’m so grateful I found this podcast when looking for guidance about an alcoholic friend also diagnosed late in life as on the autism spectrum. Then as I continued listening I found such similar ways of thinking about my own sobriety, and, most recently, your episode on dealing with difficult people. Humbling and eye opening. It’s really helped me see where I continue to play a role. Thank you!
This podcast is totally binge-worthy! Veronica keeps you focused on your goals and reminds you there’s so much more to life beyond alcohol. The conversations about emotional sobriety are what really make this worth working on — every episode leaves me motivated and hopeful.
