In this thought-provoking episode of Beyond Sexual Brokenness, Sean and Dayne go head-to-head in a deep and honest debate: Should sobriety define who you are? Or is it just a part of your journey—not your identity?

Some say sobriety is the foundation of healing, the proof of real change. Others argue that making it your identity can be a dangerous trap—what happens when you relapse? Does that mean you've lost yourself? If you’re not "sober enough," does that mean you’re not recovering?

Sean and Dayne take different stances, pushing each other—and you—to critically examine your relationship with sobriety. They reflect on how their perspectives have shifted after a year of committed recovery. Sean shares why he fought against letting relapse define him, while Dayne questions whether avoiding that definition makes it harder to stay accountable.

Can sobriety be a core part of who you are without it becoming a burden?
If we don’t let sobriety define us, are we leaving the door open to return to old patterns?
Is sobriety the key to reclaiming our true selves, rather than something that restricts us?
How do we hold onto the passion for recovery when setbacks happen?
Are you more than your sobriety, or is that a risky mindset?

Join the debate and reflect on what sobriety means for you. Does it define you? Should it?
