The Next Right Thing Podcast | Episode 2: Dating and Sobriety
Hosted by Amanda (3.5 years sober)

In this deeply honest episode, Amanda sits down with guests Brian Bonner and Brittany Black to unpack the raw, real experiences of dating while sober. From navigating relationships in early recovery to setting boundaries with partners who still drink, this conversation gets vulnerable, funny, and unfiltered.
They dive into:

How addiction impacted past relationships

What intimacy means in recovery

Red flags, trust, triggers, and emotional support

Dealing with stigma around sober dating

Being honest about sobriety in new relationships

Learning to love yourself first
This episode isn't just about dating—it's about healing, growing, and finally showing up for yourself and others.


Whether you’re sober, getting sober, or just curious how relationships shift after recovery, this one’s for you. Tap in and stay for the laughs, tears, and real talk.
