This is Why I'm Sober

There’s a story that often gets left out when people talk about getting sober-the one that comes after the decision, in the quiet and not-so-quiet hours of rebuilding a life. This is Why I'm Sober lives in that space. Hosts Abi Rose and Chris Kelley don’t just talk about recovery; they pull up a chair and share the ongoing, unvarnished reality of it. You’ll hear conversations that move from the relief of a hard-won victory to the frustration of a setback, all within the same episode. They delve into the shifting sense of self, the mending and sometimes fracturing of relationships, and the surprising pockets of joy found along the way. This podcast is built on personal stories and lived experience, offering a direct look at how a person pieces things back together after addiction. It’s about the practical, emotional, and mental work that rarely makes the highlight reel. For anyone walking a similar path, or for those trying to understand it, these discussions provide a sense of companionship and a realistic map of the territory. Each episode adds another layer to the central, compelling question of what it means to construct a life from the ground up, long after the last drink or drug.
