The Sunday Sweet Edit | No. 61

Today Jay mourns the loss of edgy indie films with incredible soundtracks by marking the anniversary of the release of Trainspotting. Suzanne takes us back to one of the most iconic ad campaigns of all time – Got Milk. Jay wonders if Married With Children could ever exist today, and Suzanne delivers a very meta ‘on this day’ submission with Mission Impossible. Plus – Mom’s relationships with the granddogs, Jay’s parking lot dedication ceremony, and Suzanne’s astrology induced strep throat. Follow Jay on Instagram & Twitter, and Suzanne on Instagram! 

My friend Jess of A Sober Girl’s Guide is back to tell us all about her proactive sobriety support app: Bestday. Bestday shifts the question away from ‘why am I not drinking?’ to ‘Why am I wanting to drink?’. The app’s customized daily ‘risk score’ will help you proactively prepare for the moment when a craving might hit. This kind of clarity can make all the difference in sustained long term sobriety.The benefits of the app go so much deeper than sobriety, though, and no one knows that better than Jess. Jess unexpectedly lost her mom right as the app was getting close to launch, and the daily tracker helped her immensely in navigating her grief. We’ll get deep into grief in this conversation: how grief parallels early sobriety, how to support yourself (and others!) through the grief process, and even what not to do if someone you love is deep in grief. If you’re in Vancouver, you’ll get to experience Bestday in person! This summer Jess and Bestday will be all around Vancouver with The Bestday mocktail bar. Learn all about it here! Download the Bestday app for freeCommunity makes all the difference.
