66. JUST THE TIP: What's The Deal With Journaling?

Journaling seems to be recommended constantly as a must-have tool in the sobriety toolkit. This episode explores why there might actually be something to it. This conversation explores what makes journaling so useful, especially when it comes to getting thoughts out of your head and onto paper, a voice note, an email, whatever works for you. It doesn't have to be consistent, perfect, or particularly profound. This episode gives you permission to be messy, inconsistent, and sporadic... it can be a few sentences scribbled down in the moment, or whatever helps you make a little more sense of what's going on inside your head. This episode gets practical, with simple prompts and ideas for getting started if you're not sure what to write, but also gets personal, as Audrey walks through her early sobriety journal entries. If journaling has ever felt like one more thing you're "supposed" to be doing in sobriety, this episode is for you. And if you're looking for a simple, low-pressure way to understand your drinking, process what you're feeling, or notice your own growth, it might be worth picking up a pen.
