Did your summer sobriety not go as planned? Maybe you set out for a sober summer, tried Dry July, or gave Alcohol-Free August a shot, but somewhere along the way, things slipped. If that happened to you, I want you to know you’re not alone.

In episode 239 of the Sober Vibes podcast, I’m sharing how you can personally reset after this season if it didn’t go the way you wanted. My goal is to provide you with genuine encouragement and practical tools to help you keep moving forward.

Here’s what you will learn:

• Why shame keeps you stuck after a slip or alcohol relapse, and how to shift into curiosity instead
• How I re-anchor into my “why” and set fresh intentions each season
• Simple rituals that help me stop drinking urges in their tracks and stay grounded
• What it looks like to build a strong sober mindset, even when your summer didn’t feel perfect
• Why fall is the perfect time for a reset if you’re looking for help quitting alcohol or tips on how to drink less alcohol

You don’t have to wait until January 1st to start over. You can reset right now and move into fall with clarity, strength, and a new sense of confidence in your alcohol-free journey.

Have you ever hidden behind someone else’s chaos to avoid facing your struggles? When one person in a family becomes labeled as "the problem," does it make it easier for everyone else’s issues to fly under the radar?

In episode 238 of Sober Vibes, I welcome Tom Farley to the show, and we talk about family addiction, grief, and Tom's recovery. Tom knows these family dynamics firsthand. As the brother of comedy legend, Tom spent years watching his sibling’s very public battle with addiction while downplaying his relationship with alcohol.

After Chris’s devastating overdose, Tom poured his grief into advocacy, often speaking about his brother’s addiction. But behind the scenes, he was still comparing himself to others whose addictions looked worse, convincing himself he didn’t have “a real problem.”

It wasn’t until he surrendered seven years ago that Tom realized recovery is about so much more than abstinence. As he puts it, “I just needed the clarity that sobriety gave me so I could work on all these things.” Those “things” included finding his authentic self after decades of being known only as “Chris Farley’s brother.”

Tom is a passionate advocate for mental health and addiction
treatment. He works at Recovery.com, connecting people with the resources they need to heal. As a speaker and author, he shares his journey to break stigma, inspire hope, and foster connection.

This amazing conversation explores how family roles, comparison, and grief can both hinder and, ultimately, shape our paths to recovery.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Growing up in a large Irish Wisconsin family where drinking was normalized
• How his brothers' visible struggle made it easy for Tom to minimize his drinking
• Tom’s multiple sobriety attempts, including five years before relapse
• The turning point that led him to lasting recovery nearly seven years ago
• How he learned to separate the “addictive Chris” from the brother he loved
• Why vulnerability is essential in building genuine connections in sobriety
• Tom’s journey to finding his authentic self and his purpose in recovery advocacy
