    We are officially deep in the holiday season, and if you’re navigating early sobriety this can be a challenging time. So today, I’m here with some perspective on how you can protect your peace - even if it means saying no.

    Quitting Alcohol For Your Kids with Real Sober Mom Glory

    Today’s real sober mom, Glory, credits her kids as the reason why she quit drinking. For her, the mom shame she experienced after a night of drinking became so overwhelming that she knew she couldn’t continue.  Still, the challenge of quitting was unlike anything she’d ever experienced. She’d done hard things before - she’d quit smoking, she’d reached her fitness and nutrition goals - why was alcohol so hard to quit? Education and community turned out to be the key. Between quit lit, sober podcasts, and The Fresh 30 and Beyond 30 groups in the Sober Mom Life Cafe, Glory has now been sober for 86 days!  Community makes all the difference.

    The Weekend Reset: Half Ass, Whole Heart

    We are smack dab in the middle of December and I don’t know about you, but during this season I often feel like I am the only mom coming up short in a world full of moms who have everything together. It’s times like these that I am so grateful for my sobriety.  My sobriety is deeply rooted in motherhood, so today I’m going to share a bit about my parenting philosophy - Half Ass. Whole Heart.  The goal of parenting isn’t to strive for Pinterest perfection. It’s to be a safe, steady place for our kids. And for me, sobriety is the key.  Community makes all the difference.

    It’s Not You, It’s the Alcohol with Mary Alice Stephens

    Giving up alcohol originally felt to Mary Alice Stephens like leaving so many things behind - ‘Fun Mary’, date nights with her husband, friendships that centered around wine, and a father who expressed his love through alcohol. Now fourteen years sober, Mary Alice can look back and confidently say that the leap was so worth facing her fears.  Mary is the author of the new book Uncorked: A Memoir of Letting Go and Starting Over. In the book and in our conversation she shares the wisdom she has gleaned from almost a decade and a half of sobriety, the things she still reaches for in her sobriety toolkit to stay confidently sober in her current life, and wonderful advice on how to navigate your first sober holiday season. The biggest lightbulb moment for Mary was the realization that her behavior wasn’t ‘her’. It was the alcohol. Placing the blame squarely where it deserved to be gave Mary the freedom to make a different choice, and she is not looking back!  Connect with Mary Alice and get a copy of her new book Uncorked at www.maryalicestephens.com My Cyber week picks!
