In this episode of 'The Sober Butterfly', host Nadine delves into the controversial gray areas of sobriety, challenging usual narratives and questioning the necessity of permanent sobriety. She discusses her personal journey, sharing that sobriety does not need to be a lifelong commitment for everyone, the over-glorification of sobriety on social media, and the criticism sober individuals face. Nadine argues that being sober doesn't inherently make someone a better person and expresses that it's normal to grieve your old lifestyle.
