Sober and Supported

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...

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. 💛

As a nurse scientist, I’m always paying attention to the science behind health and wellness — and this conversation caught my attention in the best way.

Dr. Daniel Amen, on Diary of a CEO, talks with the host, Steven Bartlett, about why Steven quit alcohol after seeing dramatic changes in his heart rate variability (HRV).

❤️ HRV, measured by many smart watches, reflects your nervous system’s stress load, recovery, and overall resilience.

More and more people are choosing a because the science is clear: alcohol impacts every cell in the body — including the brain.

Here’s the video. Give it a watch and share it if it sparks something for you. 🌿
