This week, my mom joins me for a conversation inspired by a recent Happiest Sober Hub meeting. If you've ever struggled with feeling exhausted or burnt out by your own desire (or pressure) to constantly be growing and working on yourself in sobriety... or if you've ever felt resentful that other people "get to" do whatever they want while you're doing the hard work on yourself... or if you've ever wondered "don't I deserve a vice, ...

One thing that can be an obstacle in making our sobriety stick (and that so many people may not even realize they're doing) is placing conditions on our sobriety. Believing you can only stay sober in certain circumstances, or that you aren't capable of staying sober when life gets hard. But as long as we place conditions on our sobriety, we render ourselves powerless.
The truth is, life IS going to happen sometimes - and unless we ...
This week, my mom and I chat all about letting go of other people's opinions of our sobriety! I share a recent encounter I had with a drinker that would've definitely bothered me in early sobriety, but that I was instead able to laugh off. We also talk about how to identify our own inner voice rather than the voice keeping us stuck. And we answer a listener question: how to let go of the fear of judgment not about being sober, but ...

This week, we're talking all about building new habits in sobriety, and taking advantage of neuroplasticity to rewire our brains! I chat about breaking the habit of drinking, replacing it with healthier coping mechanisms, AND how to use sober tools to our advantage when it comes to staying consistent with other habits in our lives.
In this episode, my mom and I chat all about how to navigate relationships with problematic drinkers in your life after getting sober. Maybe you have a parent, a partner, or close family member/friend who drinks problematically and it's difficult for you to be around them since getting sober. We talk candidly about our experiences with this and share advice on how to best support those struggling, and - most importantly - yourself.
