    Leaving Your Toxic Relationship with Alcohol With Real Sober Mom Ariel

    When Ariel was young she saw alcohol as her closest friend. But slowly the ways in which alcohol was not a close friend, but a toxic relationship, began to surface - through a DUI at 18, or the mom shame she began to feel for her drinking once she became a mother at 22. Alcohol was completely normalized in her family, though, and she could not even conceive that she would need to quit. As a social worker, Ariel had seen the worst cases of addiction and she did not relate to those at all.  After Ariel’s mother passed away her drinking ticked up and she fell into a deep depression. Two psychiatrists (one quite rudely!) alerted her to the fact that alcohol might be making her depression worse. On the day after her birthday last year she realized she was just ‘tired’ of it, so she committed to 30 days of sobriety. And at the end of those 30 days? She just didn’t see the point of drinking anymore. It had taken too much from her life. It was time to break up and leave her toxic relationship with alcohol for good.  Community makes all the difference.

    The Weekend Reset: The Shift From Day One to Celebrating Sober Firsts

    My first sober vacation was a challenge, but when I was done I was in awe of myself. I did that! It was then that I started to think about the concept of ‘sober firsts’. Focusing on these challenging ‘first’ experiences with sobriety - the sober summer, the sober wedding, the sober holiday - helped me stay in touch with how sobriety was impacting my life.  And let me tell you: the self-confidence that you build when you dedicate yourself really experiencing these sober firsts, even when they’re hard, is a self-confidence that you can rely on in every moment that comes after. Because you learn that you’ve got your back no matter what. That knowledge is invaluable.  Are you gearing up to take your first sober vacation? Let me support you with this 5-day email series! What’s on your list of upcoming sober firsts? Tell me on IG or comment on the Spotify feed or leave it in a review on Apple!  Today I’m highlighting chapter 7 of my book The Sober Shift.

    The Weekend Reset: The Shift From Rock Bottom to a Softer Place to Land

    The stereotype of ‘rock bottom’ kept me drinking. I believed the lie that if my drinking didn’t look like a dire stereotype then I did not qualify for sobriety. This lie stopped me from seeing what alcohol had already taken from my life. Today we’ll talk through chapter six of my book The Sober Shift, where I’ll help you reframe the concept of ‘rock bottom’ so that you can find a softer place to land.  Community makes all the difference.

    Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith with Ericka Andersen

    Ericka Andersen devoured every quit lit book she could find in early sobriety, but time and again something was missing for her: faith. Faith and religion is deeply central to Ericka’s life, and so she set out to write the book that she needed when she got sober.  Today Ericka tells us all about her book - Freely Sober: Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith. Ericka wrote this book to serve as a support for anyone who is seeking to find faith-based or spiritual meaning in their sober journey.  Learn more about Ericka and her work at https://erickaandersen.com/ Community makes all the difference.

    The Weekend Reset: The Shift from Champagne with Yoga to True Wellness

    Alcohol is sold as a form of self care - a way for us to unwind and ‘come back to ourselves’. This is an absolute lie, one created by big alcohol in order to boost sales and to get us addicted.  Today I’ll walk you through chapter 5 of my book The Sober Shift where we dispel the myth that alcohol and wellness should go hand in hand, and I’ll help you figure out what true wellness in sobriety looks like for you.  Community makes all the difference.

    Breaking Alcohol’s Hold on You with Real Sober Mom Sarah

    Real Sober Mom Sarah grew up in Germany on a US military base where alcohol was such a way of life that her first drink was at thirteen years old at a restaurant with her family.  As a mom, alcohol came in and out of her life but it wasn’t until her kids were a bit older that it began to have a hold on her. Once she realized she was drinking every day, she began to worry - had her drinking gone too far?  She began to take sobriety one day at a time. With community support in Fresh 30 and The Sober Mom Life Cafe, she has now been sober since late 2024!  Community makes all the difference.

    Today I’ll walk you through chapter 4 of my book The Sober Shift where we’ll step back from romanticizing alcohol so that we can take a clear look at the real role that drinking plays in your life. I call this facing ‘the mold in the basement’.
