You quit drinking — you did the hard thing — but life still doesn’t feel the way you thought it would.

Why does peace feel so uncomfortable? Why does it seem like, even in sobriety, you’re still trying to escape something?

In this episode, Tim digs into one of the hardest — and most important — lessons in recovery: learning how to build a life that actually feels worth staying for.

He shares how even years into sobriety, he found himself trapped in a new kind of cage — surrounded by people, yet disconnected from his true self.

You’ll learn why quitting isn’t enough, how comfort can quietly become a new addiction, and what it really takes to create peace that lasts.

If you’ve ever felt like sobriety should feel better than it does — this episode will help you understand why, and show you how to start changing that.
