Ever think there's a connection between putting together IKEA furniture and getting sober? The steps to sobriety is much like the methodical assembly of those Scandinavian flat-pack puzzles. Each piece, much like each day in sobriety, is a step in the right direction, building a stronger, more resilient self. The way you tackle those flat-pack puzzles reflects how you approach life's challenges. What works for one person might not work for you.

This podcast is here to guide you through that assembly process, in a way that's both informative and entertaining. Welcome to Flat-Pack Sober!

Ever wondered how someone can overcome adversity and find hope in the face of grief and trauma?

In this episode, we chat with Tony Lynch, a coach, speaker, and the founder of the non-profit organization, Memories of Us. Tony opens up about his tough journey from a traumatic childhood, battling addiction, and experiencing homelessness to becoming a source of inspiration for many. Despite facing incredible challenges, including being shot 22 times and losing both his son, who was a driving force in his journey towards sobriety and stability, and eventually his mother, he discovered strength and purpose.
Today, he helps men navigate grief through his popular podcast, "Grief, Let's Talk About It," and various support initiatives.
This episode is a powerful reminder of resilience, self-forgiveness, and the transformative power of community.
This is how Tony built the sober life he wanted. If Tony's story resonates with you or you're on a similar path, remember that you're not alone. There's a whole community out there ready to support you. Until next time, keep building your life, one sober piece at a time.
