The Sober Sip 05/06 Recap

PUBLISHER’S NOTE 
Happy Monday. The Sober Curator is back with this week’s Sober Sip, where we recap this week’s TSC. This week Anne Hathaway broke the internet by casually announcing she has been sober for five years, our founder Alysse celebrated 18 years of Sobriety, and curated a list of Mother’s Day gifts for the Sober Mom in your life.

Sadly we just cannot make tonight’s Met Gala. We are just too busy curating and celebrating our sobrietea. Let’s dive into this week’s Sober Sip.

SPEAK OUT! SPEAK LOUD!
Celebrating 18 Years Sober – My Sobriety is Now an Adult

Sober Curator Founder, Alysse Bryson, celebrated 18 years of sobriety this week! Bryson exclusively told The Sober Curator, “I’ve been playfully teasing about my sobriety in the weeks and months leading up to the illustrious 18-year mark of Wednesday, May 1st, 2024. From cracking jokes about my sober status being old enough to pull the voting lever in an election year to ribbing that it can now hit the jackpot at casinos or sneak into Rated-R flicks, the banter’s been on fire.”

Bryson chooses to live in the mindset that the best is yet to come. Through this experience, she has come to understand the unexpected happens, it can clear the way for something better. “Yes, getting sober matters. It just turns out that staying sober matters more,” Alysse Bryson, TSC Founder.

Anne Hathaway is Over 5 Years Sober

Anne Hathaway is casually celebrating five years of sobriety, in an interview this week with the New York Times, she stated, "There are so many other things I identify as milestones. I don't normally talk about it, but I am over five years sober. That feels like a milestone to me. Forty feels like a gift."

Hathaway first spoke about ditching alcohol on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in January 2019. "I quit drinking back in October [2018]," Hathaway told DeGeneres. "For 18 years. I'm going to stop drinking while my son's living in my house because I don't totally love the way I do it and he's getting to the age where he really needs me all the time in the morning."

Top 24 Addiction Recovery YouTube Channels to Follow in 2024

As we step into 2024, we’ve compiled a list of the top 24 addiction recovery YouTube channels that you should follow for inspiration, information, and guidance. Some of these I refer to as ‘undiscovered gems.’ I think it is necessary to mention that even the best channels on this list started with one subscriber. Subscriber count has no basis for the quality of the channel, and I include the number only to give you an idea as to where the channel is on its journey of evolution. I also want to let you know that these channels are numbered only for reference.
