Do you desire MORE now that you have been sober for longer?Alysse got sober before all the “sober luxuries” that are available now just weren't available and she was still very young and her social and professional life revolved around drinks. Thankfully immediately she enjoyed some of the benefits of not drinking however she was still making a lot of the same bad decisions in dating and managing life.  After a few years of not drinking she knew she didn't want to go back to substances but the depression she was experiencing set in deeply. She experienced a sober bottom around four years sober.One day at a time she surrounded herself with people who supported her decision to stay sober. Alysse shares both the fun and the tears that have filled her eighteen years of sobriety. She created The Sober Curator to offer resources for those in long-term recovery and filled it with all the things she needed during her journey.Alysse wants to smash the stigma that living in long-term sobriety is boring.

  If you have ever thought “wouldn't it be great if there was one place to find all things sober” look no further. Alysse Bryson is the creator of the online magazine The Sober Curator. She is also a woman in long-term recovery who recently celebrated 17 years of freedom from alcohol. Alysse shares her journey from the anonymous rooms of AA to ‘recovering out loud' and becoming a spokesperson for all of us who are walking a similar path. Alysse discovered that there was not ‘one version' of recovery. She lived her alcohol-free life quietly but found that she was often a sought after resource for friends and family. Then, during the pandemic, she made a shift from protecting her own story to ‘recovering out loud'. She credits her time and experience in sobriety to allowing her to identify ‘when she could be helpful' and why moving front and center was the next right move.  With her background in media and print, Alysse launched The Sober Curator in August of 2020. The Sober Curator is an online magazine that features a variety of contributing writers and a content library that includes: Lifestyle, Entertainment, Happy Every Hour, Travel and The Spiritual Gangster. This pandemic baby recently placed in the top 15 recovery blogs and the top 10 recovery magazines in the world.

Amy begins by sharing how she met Jordan at the 20 Books Vegas conference, and the guests dive into their own experiences in the settings depicted in the book.

Today my guest is none other than the super fabulous Sober Curator herself, Alysse Bryson. If you've been listening to the podcast for any length of time, you know I love just about everybody, but hot damn, I've found another Soul Sister!    Alysse not only shares her story of alcoholism (or Alcohol Use Disorder as the cool kids call it) she also talks about the underlying causes, her moment of clarity that changed her perspective forever and all the ways that she helps others to end their suffering. Alysse has a focus on people in long term recovery, because let's be honest, this is an ongoing process, not a single event.   We also share some of the same concerns with “social media sobriety”, so we get into that as well. Whether you are new to the sober community or a long timer, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this as well.    Without further ado, please enjoy this episode with Alysse! Connect with Alysse!
