    The Weekend Reset: Navigating a Challenging Season When You’re Sober

    2026 has so far been a bit of a challenging year on my homefront and one of my biggest thoughts has been, ‘I am so glad that alcohol is not here to make this harder’.  We’re sold a lie that alcohol will hold your hand through hard moments. That’s all it is though, a lie. I want you to know - There will still be hard seasons and challenging emotions and days where everything feels like it’s going wrong when you’re sober. But believe me when I say - facing those challenges with a sober mind is a gift.  I’m on Spring Break this week! If you’re gearing up for your first sober vacation - just know it is so worth it. I wrote more about sober vacations on Substack.  Plus, check out my past podcast episode on Your Guide to a Sober Vacation.  Learn more about the fall retreat!  Community makes all the difference.

    The Weekend Reset: Sober Vacations

    My first sober vacation was a pivotal moment in my sobriety journey. It was the first time that I really felt that I was making a different choice for myself. Was it challenging? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely! Nothing feels better than waking up on a beautiful vacation morning with no hangover because you didn’t drink the night before.  If you’re gearing up for your first sober vacation - just know it is so worth it.

    Delanie Fischer joins the pod today to talk all about identity shifts. She’s had a lot of them, from leaving her life as a comedian and reinventing herself into a new career as a podcaster, writer and NSFW mug maker (more on that in the episode!), to getting sober as part of her overall goal of living a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.  Delanie is the co-host of the top rated podcast Self-Helpless and the author of the absolutely wonderful mocktail book, Mocktales.  Community makes all the difference.

    The Weekend Reset: Grieving Your Relationship With Alcohol

    Alcohol might be one of the longest-standing relationships in your life, and today's episode will give you permission to grieve the breakup. You were taught to put alcohol on a pedestal - a magical substance that ‘would make every experience better’. Realizing that lie might come with sadness, confusion, anger, and...yes, grief. Lean into that. Feel it all. You won't stay there. I’m proud of you. Keep going.  Read more about my thoughts on grieving alcohol on my Substack: https://suzannewarye.substack.com/p/on-grieving-alcohol-in-early-sobriety Community makes all the difference.

    Getting Excited About a Sober Life with Real Sober Mom Danielle

    Real Sober Mom Danielle couldn’t imagine a life without alcohol. Though alcohol didn’t play a large role in her upbringing in the Congo with her missionary family, it slowly began to creep into her life after the death of her grandmother who she’d been taking care of in her early 20s in Colorado. Alcohol showed up for Danielle in her grief, and from that point she began to really love the way it made her feel. Drinking was the norm at the school Danielle began to teach at, which cemented it even more deeply into her lifestyle. More and more each year, she leaned on it to get herself through the grief of a miscarriage and the consistent challenges of being a teacher.  Danielle knew she needed to quit, but she had no clue what a positive sober life could look like. It wasn’t until she found this podcast that she began to hear stories of women who actually loved their sober lives. After the loss of a close friend this past summer, Danielle knew it was time to quit. So, she began to search for the joy in sobriety. She is now six months sober and she wants to encourage you to keep going!  Community makes all the difference.
