Sober Vibes: Alcohol free lifestyle tips for long-term sobriety, whether you're sober curious or ready to quit drinking for good
Hey, Friend! Welcome to the Sober Vibes podcast, where sobriety meets empowerment.
I’m Courtney Andersen, your host, a sober coach, author, and mom. I’ve been living an alcohol-free life since 8/18/2012. I know firsthand what it’s like to be a binge/grey area drinker, spending four years stuck in the moderation cycle before finally quitting for good.
The Sober Vibes podcast is your go-to space for real talk, proven strategies, expert guidance, and inspiring stories from people who are redefining what it means to live without alcohol.
Each week, we dive deep into the topics that matter most—from how to quit drinking alcohol, managing cravings, and navigating social situations to rebuilding confidence, emotional sobriety, and finding joy in sobriety.
Whether you’re newly sober, in long-term recovery, or just sober curious about alcohol-free living, Sober Vibes offers the support, insights, resources, and encouragement you need.
Join a like-minded community and discover how sobriety can unlock a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. Don’t just quit drinking, let’s have fun on this sobriety journey together!
