The Sweet Edit

September 4, 2022

Hi, sweet friends! This Sunday Sweet Edit we celebrated my boy’s 3rd birthday yesterday and I’m having all the feelings. I’m still just over here trying to slow down time…

I hope you’re enjoying the holiday weekend!

I chatted with Erin of @rawbeautytalks! I love her story and find it so relatable. There’s not a rock bottom. She didn’t HAVE to quit drinking alcohol. Her sobriety is about feeling good and taking care of her body and mind.

The Real Sober Moms with Laura The Sober Mom Life

Today’s Real Sober Mom, Laura, grew up in a home with two struggling parents – her father with alcohol addiction and her mother with mental illness. The fractures in her homelife caused her to struggle socially at school, but once she tried alcohol she experienced a sense of relief. Her challenges didn’t feel so hard when she was drinking. At that point, alcohol quickly became enshrined in her life through her teens and twenties.  As an adult, Laura fell into the profile for gray area drinking. When her daughters began to enter their teenage years, she began to worry. Did she want her daughters to have the same experience that she had as a child? The answer was no. It was time to make a change.  Laura’s path to sobriety took many steps, with stops and starts. Finally, community support and education gave her what she needed to completely leave alcohol behind. Today, Laura shares how hypnosis helped her in her sobriety journey, the trauma she has had to face with a therapist now that she is sober, how her relationship with her husband has been affected by her lifestyle change, and the experiences she had on work trips as she was trying to get sober.  Join us in the The Sober Mom Life Cafe!

one more thing…

A quote from the @sobermomlife that says, "You don't need liquid courage."

I know.

I know we’ve been taught that alcohol will make us more courageous, more social, less anxious, blah blah blah. And that might feel true – for the first 15 minutes or so.

But…what if you gave yourself a chance to see that you don’t need the fake courage? That you are courageous WITHOUT alcohol. That you can withstand the discomfort of social anxiety.

You won’t know until you try…

If this is your first sober holiday, head to The Sober Mom Life podcast for support! A few months ago, I shared tips for enjoying your first sober 4th of July, and it definitely applies to your first sober Labor Day, too…
