Exploring Sobriety Rooms in Clubhouse - with Justin Lamb

Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol-free life!

My guest this week is Justin Lamb - podcaster, musician, asset management professional and therapist in training!

In this Episode

Justin grew up with an alcoholic father and his brother was also using - like many of us he started using alcohol to socialise
A medical diagnosis of auto-immune disease forced him to quit drinking for five months - he was anxious to restart!
He managed to stop drinking by educating himself about the harm it does - he went on a course about substance abuse
Justin has experienced many benefits of sobriety.  He feels gratitude that he is now able to "feel what I feel" - whether love or pain
He is now able to better follow things through and complete his projects - he came up with a nice metaphor involving kayaking..
We talked about the normalisation of alcohol and how pharmaceutical drugs on US tv list the side effects - not not alcohol
His advice about dealing with peer pressure is to take control early on - don't be shy about your sobriety!
These days Justin is happy to hang out with responsible drinkers - but not the heavy drinkers.
Although he got sober alone he is now enjoying the community support he is finding in the Clubhouse rooms.
We discussed the value of Clubhouse and how people will be able to hear recovery tips and stories without going to meetings
Justin has a podcast called Friend Request and you can follow him on Instagram @friendrequestpodcast
We also agreed that people are far more likely to identify themselves as "Sober Curious" than "Alcoholics"
Joining Tribe Sober is a great way to start your Sober Curious journey
We'll put you on a 30 day alcohol free challenge so you can test your dependency
