Sober and Supported

🌟 Current read 📚 , anyone?

This one might go a little beyond your typical "quit lit" since it is about staying sober.

If you’re on a sober lifestyle journey, you know it’s not just about stopping—it’s about understanding the patterns, the mindset, and yes… that inner voice that can sometimes lead us off track.

Curious—what are you reading right now to support your journey? I’m always looking to grow my book list. 💛

Wow, if you are on a sober journey ... you get it ...

Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️

Holidays can feel extra hard—especially in early sobriety.

Just a gentle reminder: you don’t have to drink to belong, to celebrate, or to have real joy.

Sobriety is a gift you’re giving yourself. And today can still be meaningful, fun, and full—without alcohol.

Sobriety isn't about just not using substances, it's about forging a new identity that is in alignment with your true self.

When I was using, I would be at the liquor store at 8am. In my sobriety journey, I show up to the gym at 8am. I choose temporary discomfort and challenge to feel amazing for the day, rather than use a substance that makes me feel temporarily great and horrible for the rest of the day.

If we want to change our habits, the people, places and things that fuel our environment matter. Choose to stay surrounded by people and things that inspire and challenge you. What can you do today, even a small thing, that is a challenge instead of an escape?

Those succeeding in a sober lifestyle know connection is key.
Are you connected to others on the journey?

Recovery isn’t just about not drinking — it’s about reconnecting with the body and nervous system that have been under strain for a long time.
Gentle movement and intentional breathing help restore regulation, presence, and trust in ourselves.

We’re grateful to Brian R. Cook for leading our Holiday Group Coaching in a recent and for sharing this Six Directional Breathing Qigong practice.

If you’re curious, tired, anxious, or simply want to feel more grounded, we invite you to practice along with Brian and subscribe to his channel for more.

✨ Slow down. Move gently. Breathe with intention. ✨

Focusing on the breath creates a sense of expansiveness. We can place our focus on our lower abdomen, our Dan Tian. Breathing into the Dan Tian is elemental...

You have successfully achieved sobriety, so now how do you keep this precious gift? One important thing to ponder is relapse prevention. This is such a useful website https://www.addictionsandrecovery.org/relapse-prevention.htm

Coach Sarah here! This iceberg image says a lot.

What people think recovery is:
• stopping a substance
• being “clean & sober”
• going to meetings or rehab

What recovery actually is runs far deeper — unseen work beneath the surface.
• Healing trauma.
• Rewriting old stories.
• Feeling scared and showing up anyway.
• Learning how to live an honest, connected life.

For those of you who’ve lived it…
What was the real low-down on recovery for you?
What did you discover that no one really told you at the beginning?

If you’re open to sharing, your truth matters here. 💛
