Content Warning: in this episode, we discuss Tori's slip, a.k.a. a relapse.

 

Tori joins Sober Stories host Beth Bowen to discuss entering sobriety in her early 20s, how we can glamorize sobriety, and the importance of finding a sober community to celebrate with. Beth and Tori talk about Tori's slip in the fall of 2021 and how she returned to sobriety from that experience. Tori explains falling in love and navigating a new relationship while sober, and Beth and Tori discuss the real side of sobriety. Tori shares what her story would be called: "Enhance Your Discernment."
