What really happens after you quit drinking, and how do you rebuild your identity once alcohol is out of the picture?

In episode 248 of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I sit down with Sarah Treacy, founder of The Sober Adventure Collective and creator of Sobriety Is the New Epic, a virtual speaker series redefining what recovery can look like. After quitting alcohol in 2020 and leaving her 20-year corporate marketing career in 2024, Sarah’s mission is clear: sobriety isn’t boring or restrictive, it’s your next great adventure.

Together, we talk about getting sober during COVID, moving from secrecy to confidence, and building a community that makes alcohol-free living feel expansive, not small. Sarah shares tangible tools for identity shifts, emotional regulation, and creating a life that feels aligned, purpose-driven, and fun.

What You Will Learn in This Episode:

• Quitting alcohol to protect your career and health and what truly happens after you quit drinking
