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.

My guest on the podcast today, Allison Barber, shares her story, which includes a debilitating injury, a crumbling marriage and a rocky relationship happening all at once.

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...

But, she did know she liked to run and that other runners might be non-drinkers, or other non-drinkers might want to try running. So she decided to start a sober running group.

I know when I wanted to drink less, I got stuck in moderation because I didn't know the options. I didn't realize that I could stop drinking just because I wanted to…! And, when I started to consider NOT drinking, I had no idea where to start. Other than counting days and attending meetings, I was completely at a loss. I want to help you build a roadmap, a place to start where you...

2023-10-1826 minSober EdgePart 2: From Gray Area Drinking to Gray Haired LivingLife is full of transitions; we move from grade school to middle school, onto high school and college. 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...

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'. I love that we can teach our children this co...

2023-09-2054 minSober EdgeBirthdays, Boundaries and BingoI believe birthdays can be a great time for looking forward. 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. I like to use a rhyme because it helps me choose a theme and it's also fun! For example, last year when I turned 62 my intention was " 62, try something new". And, I am happy to report that I tried lots of new things during the year; a new puppy, traveling to meet sober friends, hosting a c...

Have you ever played the 'maybe game'? My 'maybe game' was filled with scenarios that sounded good on paper, or seemed rational after a few drinks, but were really nothing more than excuses to stay in the exact same place. The place where I was stuck. You see, I thought I was happier drinking. I thought I would be miserable not drinking and so my thoughts were filled with maybe's: ...maybe I can...

2023-08-0919 minSober EdgeDo I Have to Hit Rock Bottom?Rock Bottom - defined as the lowest possible level. 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 i...
