In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I sit down with Craig Pothier, creator of Mind Uncaged, to discuss one of the most important and often misunderstood aspects of recovery: depression in sobriety.
Craig shares his personal story of addiction and recovery, what inspired him to start Mind Uncaged, and how he’s using his platform to raise awareness about mental health in the sober community. We dive into what it feels like to face depression without alcohol as a coping tool, and how to manage those heavy emotions in healthy, sustainable ways.
Sobriety doesn’t make life perfect, but it gives you the clarity and courage to face what’s real and begin to heal.
If you’ve ever felt the weight of depression in your sober journey, this conversation is your reminder that you’re not alone and that healing happens when we keep showing up for ourselves.
