Getting sober is not easy and many say the first 90 days are critical. This is a time when we are learning a whole new way of life and it can be very difficult and confusing. Celebrating milestones, whether it’s 24 hours, 30, 60, 90 days or years, helps us to see how far we have come and re-commit staying sober. Most recovery programs celebrate milestones by giving out a token (chip, keychain, etc.). This is helpful to the recipient and to others members of the group to see that long-term sobriety is possible. On this episode of The Bubble Hour, we talk about how celebrating milestones has helped us with our recovery and some of the special things we have done to celebrate.

We’re always trying to think of topics that are compelling to our listeners, but the heart of every show is our guests and their recovery stories. In recovery meetings it is common practice for one person to share their experience, strength and hope and then to pick a recovery topic for the group to discuss so we have recreated that concept here on The Bubble Hour. Hearing that there are other people just like us...with the same experiences, thoughts and feelings is revolutionary. Tune in to this week's episode to hear our guest Lisa B's story ad our discussion.
**We have shared the recipes Lisa mentioned on the show at the bottom of this post. We hope you will enjoy them!***

Early recovery is full of “sober firsts”. They seem to come fast and furious in the initial weeks and months, and can be overwhelming at times. Eventually, the “firsts” are fewer and further between, but their infrequency can make them feel more jarring. On this episode of The Bubble Hour we look at “sober firsts” of three major types:
“Mixing with the Normies” – going back to the places and situations where drinking is part of the milieu, now as a person in recovery
“Engaging in Recovery” – new places and situations you encounter once you quit drinking
“Sober and Solo” – the things you go to or through on your own.
Join us and our guests as we talk about what these experiences were like for us and some tips for navigating these challenges of early sobriety.
