SOBRIETY CHECKPOINT – Sober Living, Sobriety, Addiction Recovery, Emotional Sobriety, Alcohol Free
Are you stuck in the rut of addiction looking for some hope for change? Or are you already in recovery but struggling with your emotional sobriety & feeling anxious about whether or not you’re doing this life thing right? Are you a self-proclaimed perfectionist constantly worried about what others think of you? Do you feel childhood and family patterns repeating themselves in your marriage or relationships? Did the pink cloud fade a long time ago only to be replaced with the restlessness, irritability, and discontent of those familiar drunken days?
Maybe you’re a high achiever and on the outside, you have everything you need and even some of the things you want – but you’re still feeling dissatisfied. People see success when they look at you but all you see when you look in the mirror is a person you don’t even recognize – just like those 3am accidental glimpses in the mirror when you were crying in the bathroom. Desperate for a solution & crying out to a God you weren’t sure you even believed in. OH desperation – what a gift that was!
In this podcast you’re gonna hear stories of hope for sober living. Stories with solutions to emotional health, relationships, and that critical inner voice as well as transparent and authentic conversations about navigating mental health, faith, and relationships in recovery.
My name’s Felicia and I’m a 12-stepper turned therapist. I’m married and I have two littles under 5. I grew up in church but I didn’t find Jesus or understand grace until I found the rooms of AA in 2011. I love Jesus but have had my fair share of struggling with church culture and religion. I know what it’s like to be stuck in a restless, irritable, and discontent rut (drunk & sober). This next season I’m going to be shifting the podcast focus to stories of hope for sober living. This change comes after a year of podcasting and recognizing more than ever the power of storytelling and my hope to reach a larger audience of listeners seeking a solution to their addiction in addition to solutions for living sober. There will still at times be a focus on reaching parents in recovery since this is such a huge part of my recovery, but not all my guests who will be sharing their experience, strength, and hope, will be parents.
I’m so glad you’re here!

58 | Is This the End for Sobriety Checkpoint? Hear Why Felicia’s Farewell Is Just the Start of Something Bigger!
byFelicia Hermle
In this farewell-for-now episode of Sobriety Checkpoint, I reflect on the journey of hosting this podcast and how it has been a vessel of growth and learning in both my personal and professional life. As a sober mom and therapist who has navigated the complexities of mental health, spirituality, and sobriety, I’ve been blessed to share insights and stories that hopefully inspire and resonate with others living a sober lifestyle. Today, I’ll share a deeply personal meditation from “Jesus Calling” that emphasizes the beauty of imperfection and the importance of not being overly harsh with oneself. This message is particularly poignant as it mirrors my own experiences of overcoming perfectionism in sobriety and the abundant growth that follows when we embrace progress over perfection.
As I pause this podcast to focus on expanding my therapeutic practice, remember that Sobriety Checkpoint’s past episodes will remain available for guidance and inspiration. Whether you are a sober dad, engaging in tough relationship communication, or a parent striving for fun in sobriety without resentment, there’s something here for you. I cherish every story shared and lesson learned with you all, and I hold onto faith that this isn’t the end but a new beginning. Revisit the insights on communication, faith, and parenting whenever you need a reminder of your strength in sobriety. Thank you for allowing me into your lives; let’s keep in touch through social media and continue supporting each other in our journeys. God bless.

What Our Fans Are Saying
"Exactly what I needed" 5 stars - This week's focus on our positive qualities was exactly what I needed in this season. It's something that God is putting a finger on. This podcast helped me name it in a way that is concrete and Felicia gave helpful next steps to implement an inventory of our virtues. So grateful I tuned in this week.
