Hellooooo April! ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
It’s a new week, new month, and April is Alcohol Awareness Month! ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
My inbox is filled daily with messages from women who are sober curious. They crave a healthy, happy, and sober life. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
These women know their relationship with alcohol has changed. The stigma and shame keep them silent. I get it! I was there too. Until one day I received a gentle nudge from the universe to lean into my fear and recover out-loud. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
The very thing that held me down for YEARS gave me wings. Wings to fly outside my comfort zone to pave the way towards a sober life I love. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Ladies and Gentlemen...... ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I believe in you. ⠀⠀
I will fight for you. ⠀⠀
I will show you recovery is possible. ⠀⠀
I will be your voice until you’re ready to share yours. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
My hope for YOU is to take the risk before you loose the chance to live your best life. ⠀⠀
If you wait for the perfect day to start, you’ll never begin. The word “later” is a dream killer that derails us from success. Your success is determined by your efforts. So simply begin. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Anyone interested in a complementary strategy call with me please click the link in my bio or I’m only a message away. ⠀⠀

“I found myself sinking further and further into depression as I tried to make sense of and control what was happening in my marriage and in our home. Over time, I was able to break my childhood definition of what an alcoholic was—a jobless derelict who lacks good hygiene, living a solitary life without friends, family or money. I realized that it was also the man I loved and married. He was a good provider who was personable, well educated, good looking and much loved by family and friends. However, his daily drinking and personality changes mystified me and left me feeling that there must be something I had done to cause them or that I could do to control or cure them.”

Many people think that their loved one drinks because of something they did or didn’t do. This is not true. In Al-Anon, members come to realize that the only person who can stop the drinking is the alcoholic. With that in mind, members can begin to focus on what they can control – themselves. Find out how the Al-Anon program has helped members by reading their stories at http://qoo.ly/wan9d.

Getting sober meant dismantling my comfort zone to make room for my truth and all the challenges that came with it. It meant swallowing my pride, it meant brutal, painfully ugly honesty, and it meant freedom from the hamster wheel if I could step out of my imaginary life and into admission. It meant once and for all taking a long look in the steamed-up mirror of my ego, and wiping it clean so I could finally see myself for who I was.
To begin overcoming my addiction successfully, I needed to accept it fully, because half-acceptance only allows for half-success.
In the beginning, overcoming my addiction seemed like an impossible feat – until it happened to me.
The idea of saying, and putting the terrifying phrase "I'm an alcoholic" behind me seemed inconceivable – until it happened to me.
The prospect of not drinking in the face of ten thousand triggers seemed unthinkable – until it happened to me.
The idea of accepting how I allowed the unimaginable to happen to me seemed impossible – until it very much happened to me.
And that's what I'm discovering this beautiful, heartbreaking thing called life is all about. It can't be experienced from the window of your imaginary world, because it happens in the mud, and in the rain, and in the sunny struggles of our really real world – if you're willing to let it happen to you.

Addiction kills. And for many it’s either sobriety or death. Sobriety will never be a fad or a trend to me. Without a doubt in my mind I know that if I treated my recovery as a trend and I was to have one sip of alcohol there would be no turning back and I would die. Because to be honest I don’t know if I have another recovery in me. #sobrietyislife #wedorecover •

The Power of Hope Challenge
Day 7: Ustrasana
For the chance for someone to heal and to start fresh. To belong to a community. To feel important. To totally transform from the inside out.
@trinifoundation
@taylorhuntyoga
On this day you surrendered. You mustered up some courage and asked for help. You began a new way of life. Slowly, you became honest. You sought to help others. You became a giver. You took less. You began to feel.... pleasure, pain, sadness, and joy. On this day... you got sober. .
Thank you @cinkalicious.sober ♥️ now I can wear my date as a reminder to keep going. A day at a time. .
