Manage episode 524004904 series 3560763
Are you in your first year of sobriety and suddenly feeling “fine”… yet something inside feels off or surprisingly unsteady?
In this Sanctuary Saturday episode, you’ll learn why so many women in their first year of sobriety slip into a quiet phase of complacency—right after the survival stage ends. This is the moment when life feels calmer, but emotional growth stalls, support fades, and old thought patterns begin creeping back in. If you’re not actively growing, evolving, or connecting with others who understand your journey, this episode will help you see exactly why things start to feel shaky.
In this episode, you'll
- understand the hidden danger of complacency during months 3–12 and why it’s more common than you think.
- learn how emotional growth, self-awareness, and meaningful support create stability that will never come from “just not drinking.”
- hear real patterns from women who realized they needed support again—and why reconnecting changed everything.
Press play to discover how to keep your sobriety strong, supported, and steadily growing instead of slipping into the danger zone of complacency.
