What would you do if you were told you needed a new liver to survive?

In this episode of Sobriety Now What?, Stuart Cline talks with Tia about her journey through cirrhosis, alcohol addiction, sobriety, and a life-saving liver transplant. Tia shares what it was like to stop drinking when her life depended on it, endure the long wait on the transplant list, and rebuild her life after receiving a new liver.

This honest conversation explores the physical, emotional, and mental realities of liver disease, including fatigue, survivor’s guilt, faith, resilience, and the challenges of recovery after transplant. Tia also discusses life after surgery—what people don’t understand about living with a transplant, ongoing medication, and learning how to pace life in sobriety.

If you or someone you love is dealing with cirrhosis, liver failure, alcohol use disorder, or recovery after a liver transplant, this episode offers hope, clarity, and real-world perspective from someone who has lived it.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Cirrhosis and the warning signs of liver disease
• Alcohol addiction and stopping drinking to survive
• Waiting for a liver transplant and organ donation
• Life after a liver transplant and long-term recovery
• Finding meaning and purpose after getting sober

I’m really grateful you’re here—no matter where you are on your sober journey.

Early sobriety can feel surprisingly quiet.

You’re doing everything “right”—not drinking, showing up to work, paying bills—but inside, something feels off. Not sad. Not depressed. Just… lonely. Empty. Bored.

If you’ve ever found yourself sitting on the couch, scrolling on your phone and wondering, “Is this what sobriety is?”—this episode is for you.

In this episode of Sobriety Now What, Stuart shares a simple but powerful story about a man who realized that alcohol used to fill more than cravings—it filled time, structure, and connection. When that disappeared, loneliness rushed in.

You’ll learn:

• Why loneliness and boredom are common—and temporary—phases in sobriety
• How isolation quietly increases relapse risk (without you realizing it)
• Why waiting for motivation doesn’t work—and what does
• The “One Connection Rule”: a gentle, doable way to rebuild meaning and belonging
• Practical ideas for connection that don’t feel overwhelming or forced

Sobriety isn’t just about removing alcohol—it’s about rebuilding a life that feels worth staying sober for.

If you’re in that uncomfortable in-between space where the old life is gone and the new one hasn’t fully formed yet, this episode will remind you: this too will pass—and life really does get better.

🎧 Listen now and take one small step out of isolation and back into life.
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to do this perfectly to thrive.

Are you sober—but your mind still feels loud, critical, or exhausting?
You’re not alone—and there’s nothing wrong with you.

In this episode of Sobriety Now What, Stuart explores how self-talk quietly shapes your entire recovery experience, often without you realizing it. Many people stop drinking or using… yet still feel stuck inside their own head. The overthinking. The self-doubt. The feeling of “Why am I still struggling?”

This episode explains what’s really happening.

You’ll learn:

• Why your brain is not sabotaging you—it’s trying to prove you right
• How confirmation bias influences what you notice, remember, and believe
• Why negative self-talk feels so convincing (even when it isn’t true)
• How small, kinder shifts in thinking can rewire your brain over time
• Simple phrases and questions that help your mind work with you instead of against you

Stuart shares a powerful psychological study, real recovery examples, and gentle, practical tools you can start using today—without forcing positive thinking or fake affirmations.

This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about changing what your mind is trained to look for.

If you’ve ever said, “I’m sober, but my mind won’t slow down,” this episode is for you.
