The Truth About Sobriety: Authentic Living and Emotional Freedom, EP 41

In this thought-provoking episode of the Derelict Podcast, host Josh Abbandonato welcomes Ken Cox for a raw and authentic conversation about sobriety, self-discovery, and breaking down societal norms surrounding alcohol use. They explore the highs and lows of learning to live authentically without substances, the role of cannabis in emotional healing, and how to embrace your true self—even the “weird and goofy” parts.
Ken shares insights from his personal journey, revealing how he transformed his life by choosing sobriety and using mindfulness tools to connect with his emotions. Whether you’re considering a sober lifestyle or simply want to understand its transformative power, this episode offers valuable lessons and inspiration.
 
Key Takeaways:

* Social Dynamics and Sobriety: Sobriety doesn’t mean the end of meaningful connections—it can lead to more genuine relationships.
* Cannabis as Medicine: A tool for managing anxiety and fostering emotional understanding, not just for recreation.
* Mindfulness Tech: Innovative tools like apps that nudge brain waves can help create calmness and mental clarity.
 
Memorable Quotes:
- “People love the weird, goofy version of you way more than the drunken idiot.” – Ken Cox
- “Sobriety isn’t boring—it’s a powerful step toward true self-discovery.” – Josh Abbandonato
- “You live under the guise of being authentic when you’re drunk, but is that really who you    
are?” – Ken Cox
