Exploring Sobriety Rooms in Clubhouse - with Justin Lamb

Tribe Sober - inspiring an alcohol free life!

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
• Membership also allows you to find your people as we welcome you into our supportive community
