Shelley's journey to sobriety underscores the importance of addressing the underlying issues of addiction, not just the substance use itself, and the importance of self-awareness in the journey to sobriety.

Ever think there's a connection between putting together IKEA furniture and getting sober?   The steps to sobriety is much like the methodical assembly of those Scandinavian flat-pack puzzles. Each piece, much like each day in sobriety, is a step in the right direction, building a stronger, more resilient self. The way you tackle those flat-pack puzzles reflects how you approach life's challenges.  What works for one person might not work for you.

This podcast is here to guide you through that assembly process, in a way that's both informative and entertaining. Welcome to Flat-Pack Sober!

Is addiction more than just the physical dependence on a substance?

In this episode, Shelley Brigham, a Transformational Mindset Coach, and I discussed the challenges of sobriety and self-awareness. She shared her personal story with alcohol, her decision to embrace a sober life, and how honesty with oneself is the cornerstone of lasting change.

We also explored the psychological underpinnings of addiction where she also stressed the need to look beyond the substance and address the root causes – a message that resonates with anyone striving to overcome their own battles.

This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone on the path to self-improvement. Whether you're navigating sobriety, seeking to understand the complexities of addiction, or simply looking for a dose of inspiration, you won't want to miss this.

This is how Shelley built the sober life she wanted. If Shelley's story resonates with you or you're on a similar path, remember that you're not alone. There's a whole community out there ready to support you. Until next time, keep building your life, one sober piece at a time.
