Browsing: SPEAK OUT! SPEAK LOUD!
Welcome to the Speak Out Speak Loud section of The Sober Curator, a space echoing Madonna’s call to “Express yourself!” This is where our readers and contributors take center stage, sharing their transformative sobriety journeys. Often, sobriety uncovers hidden talents, abilities, and new avenues of self-expression. By sharing these stories, we not only facilitate personal healing but also offer hope to those still navigating the path of recovery. So, let’s raise our voices, Speak Out, and Speak Loud! In doing so, we combat the silence that often shrouds addiction, offering solace and inspiration. We invite you to share your unique expressions of recovery here—be it through videos, poems, art, essays, opinion pieces, or music. We can’t wait to hear from you! Please email us at thesobercurator@gmail.com or DM us on social!

All of us at The Sober Curator and at the SOBER POP Club on Clubhouse are big proponents of giving and being of service. Whether it be time, talent or money, we all have unique gifts to share with others. Besides wanting to be a good human, there are many reasons to give. Multiple studies on the topic reveal that people who give time and money are happier, live longer and feel more connected. This aligns nicely with our recovery journeys, right?
This is the space for stories of sobriety journeys. After removing drugs and alcohol, many addicts discover new talents, abilities and forms of self-expression.
Celebrating 7 years of sobriety brings joy and reflection on everything from wanting more, changing perspective, finally putting the bottle down and the day it all began.
Please meet our newest Sober Curators, Trish and Madi from unwstd., a sober movement that has taken roots in Sydney, Australia. They currently offer a bottle shop full of alcohol-free options, local events, and a blog that gives all of the positive vibes.
