Navigating grief without alcohol

A workshop replay with Grieve Leave exploring the deep connection between grief and sobriety - and the ways this link often goes unspoken. Together, we’ll look not only at the grief of losing a person, but also at what it means to grieve your old drinking self, the habits you’ve left behind, and the surprising emotions that can surface along the way.

In this session, we’ll talk about:

-How grief and sobriety can be deeply linked, and why that connection doesn’t get talked about.

- What it’s like to grieve without your old coping mechanisms, and why that can feel like a whole new kind of loss

-The unexpected grief that can come with sobriety, whether it’s mourning people, habits, or old versions of yourself

-How to show up for friends who are grieving when “let’s grab drinks” isn’t the go-to anymore

About Grieve Leave:

Grieve Leave is building a global community for people who know that grief is more than death - it's divorce, job loss, friendship changes, health diagnoses, and all those other losses that don't get sympathy cards. We're the place you go when you're tired of being told to "move on" or "find closure." Through our podcast, workplace training,  unconventional support groups (like our sad hours instead of happy hours), and educational resources, we create space for real conversations about what grief actually looks like. Everyone experiences loss. When that happens, you deserve better than out of touch advice and impossible timelines. You deserve a community that gets it. Whether your grief is fresh or decades old, whether it fits traditional definitions or feels "too small" to mention - we see you. Because grief doesn't follow rules, and neither do we.
