110. Navigating Sex and Sobriety After Overcoming Alcohol Dependency – with Ericka

Podcast

IN THIS EPISODE:

Janna speaks with Ericka about the use of alcohol and how it can become a crutch in intimate situations. She started drinking in high school, initially finding that alcohol eased her anxiety and helped her feel more relaxed before sexual encounters. However, this pattern led to risky situations and a troubling reliance on alcohol to numb out her fears and concerns about sexual performance. The result was a disconnection from her true feelings and intuition.

Now four years sober, Ericka has created a valuable resource kit for women navigating intimacy and sobriety, available at sobrietycurious.com. She’s seen many women in online sobriety groups struggle with the question, “What do I do about sex now that I’m not drinking?” Listen as Ericka shares her journey to a healthier, more authentic way of rediscovering intimacy and self-worth without the haze of alcohol.
