When we find ourselves 'romanticizing' alcohol, it can feel confusing. First, let's normalize these thoughts. Longing for the past, or feeling nostalgic, is a normal emotion. It is often tied to a longing for the way we used to be or the way we used to feel. I recently had a client share that 'nostalgia' is one of the reasons she drinks, that longing to feel a certain way or searching for a past version of herself can lead he...2024-06-0527 min

In the beginning, figuring out how to live alcohol-free was also extremely difficult. This is true for most of my clients and the people I meet who have undertaken this journey. So, why do we keep going? How do we know it's going to be worth it in the end? What is at the 'heart' of sober living? I experienced something recently that I think, at least for me, answers this question. I attended an event with 100+ women (and 2 men) where we experienced th...2024-02-2125 min

I am often amazed by photos I see of someone while drinking and then that same someone 60 or 90 days later. It’s incredible to see the dramatic changes that can occur. I think it’s also true with midlife. Have you ever known someone who becomes softer and more present as they grow older? How about someone who embraces a new passion or writes a book at the age of 60+? You’ve probably heard the saying “age is just a number”, which I agree with. However, I think age is also a mindse...2024-02-0718 minSober EdgeOut of the Alcohol Matrix with Dustin DunbarIn the movie, The Matrix, there is a scene where the character realizes he is caught in an illusion.

That's one of the top reasons people give me for wanting to cut back or stop drinking. Everyone hopes that they will feel better - sleep better, have lower blood pressure, lose weight. But, if our drinking has compromised our health, we may believe that stopping will simply delay the inevitable, that our only option is, as my podcast guest shares, "let the chips fall where they may".

I think for many of us this is the appeal of an alcohol-free life; we want our circumstances to improve. Today, I share the work of Gretchen Rubin who wrote the book, Better Than Before. This book is about habits but most importantly it's about knowing oneself better than before. Rubin makes a convincing point that in order to establish habits that last, we must build habits that are based on who we are now. I agree - when we try to adopt the habits of someone else, we of...2023-11-2227 minSober EdgeNo Alcohol Required with Megan WebbI caught up with my friend and fellow coach Megan Webb on the podcast this week.

We fall in and out of love and often marry and have children. We may take on a mortgage or go back to school for a higher degree... the list goes on. As humans, we spend the first half of our life accumulating and acquiring things (spouses, houses, children, degrees, cars, boats, etc). Many of these early life transitions are 'self-imposed'; as we reach midlife we find that new transitions are often 'other imposed'. This can be a challenging place to n...2023-10-1148 minSober EdgeFrom Gray Area Drinking to Gray Haired LivingHave you ever thought you were too old to change?

Abraham Maslow and Brene Brown both remind us that belonging is a basic human need. One of the challenges of becoming AF and living AF can be living outside of the accepted traditions of drinking. We face our own kind of 'not fitting in'.

My daughter shared a birthday ritual with me a few years ago and I want to share it with you. It involves setting a theme or intention for the year.

It’s fascinating to me that this is associated with drinking and even more accurately with not drinking. The connection with ‘rock bottom’ and alcohol comes from the 12 step programs that suggest one must be at rock bottom in order to embrace change. I find this puzzling; where else do we wait for something to become unmanageable before we decide to take action? For example, do we wait for our car to break down before we decide to repair it? And, what is defined as ‘rock bottom’? Is it enoug...2023-08-0221 min

We get inspired or fed up and we feel highly motivated to make a change. For some of us, our alcohol-free journey started from a place of desperation which equaled motivation.

But, while motivation gets us started, it isn’t enough. Motivation comes and goes.. We can all think of examples, personal or with others, that illustrate this pheno...2023-05-1724 minSober EdgeThe Sober Curator with Alysse Bryson If you have ever thought “wouldn’t it be great if there was one place to find all things sober” look no further.

The very definition is “the final part of something”. So, when we have this thought and we live with this definition, it can be challenging to decide to ‘end’ something. Let’s look at our relationship with alcohol. Many people are reluctant to say ‘forever’ and make a permanent decision about alcohol. The idea feels daunting and ‘too’ final. Instead, we hear phrases such as ‘one day at a time’, or ‘never say never’...2023-04-2624 minSober EdgeAlcohol-Free and Unstoppable: An Ironman's Story with Buck RobinsonToday I am hanging out with an actual Iron Man!

And, books can be powerful connectors, showing us in big and small ways how we are humans having a human experience and not so different after all. On this alcohol-free journey many books have been wri...2023-04-1216 minSober EdgeHealing From Within with Amy SteinWhat happens when the doctors can’t help?
