#130: How to Believe In Yourself Again — Rebuilding Self-Trust in Sobriety

Tim Phillips

One of the hardest parts about getting sober isn’t putting down the drink — it’s learning how to believe in yourself again.

In this episode, Tim shares a raw and honest look at what it really means to rebuild self-trust in sobriety. From a story about going all-in on fitness while in rehab to recognizing the quiet ways we keep breaking promises to ourselves, this conversation digs deep into how trust is lost — and how we get it back.

You’ll learn why motivation fades, why big goals often fail, and how to rebuild confidence one small, honest promise at a time. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up for yourself, even when no one’s watching.

If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, self-doubt, or feeling like you’re “doing everything right” but still can’t find peace, this episode will hit home.

Listen now to learn how to rebuild trust from the inside out — and finally start believing in yourself again.
