Hello, everyone, and welcome to the weekly roundup from Exploring Sobriety! I hope you’re doing great, and if you’re a fellow American, I hope you also had a fantastic holiday weekend.

In case you’re new to these updates, I send them out each Monday with updates and links to my recovery-related writing from the past week.

Substack News

In addition to my blog here on Medium, I also have a weekly sobriety newsletter on Substack. Each Tuesday, you’ll get an essay sent directly to your inbox.

There are free and paid subscription options for Substack. The free option gets you an essay every two weeks, and the paid option gets you an essay every week. The paid option also helps keep the newsletter running, and I truly appreciate so many of you signing up!

If you haven’t checked it out yet, take a look at last week’s edition: Talking Yourself Into a Relapse. (Free for everyone.)

Group Subscriptions

Also, I was poking around in the Substack settings this week and discovered that I could enable a “group subscription discount.” If you buy 4 or more subscriptions to the newsletter at once, you get a 20% discount. I’m not sure if anyone has any use for this, but I’ve enabled it just in case. You can sign up here.

Latest Blog Posts

As always, I also have a few new blog posts for you to check out:

• CNN Plans to Cut (Most) Drinking From Their New Year’s Eve Coverage — I’m on the fence about CNN’s big change to their NYE coverage. What do you think?
• Happy Thanksgiving From ‘Exploring Sobriety’! — A short note of gratitude for Thanksgiving last week.
• How Much Did You Spend on Alcohol This Year? — I was ashamed of how much money I was wasting on my drinking habit, but it provided good motivation to stay sober.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a great week ahead of you!

Thanks,
Benya
