The Sunday Sweet Edit | No. 64

Happy Sunday, sweet friends! This Sunday Sweet Edit we’re up north in the middle of nowhere visiting family for the weekend and…man. It feels good to get away from the chaos of the end of the school year (that whole “Maycember” thing is real).

Heading home today and I have a lot of fun posts planned for the blog this week. Stay tuned!

on The Sober Mom Life podcast…

Laura Cathcart Robbins, the author of the excellent new quit lit memoir ‘Stash: My Life in Hiding’ joins me on the podcast. Laura’s story of recovery from a very secret and dangerous addiction is beautiful, heartbreaking, and brave. Her story is at the intersection of race, privilege and addiction. Laura is a trailblazer in the Quit Lit space, as she is the first black author to release a high profile book on this topic. Let’s show the publishing world that we need more recovery stories from people of color by supporting this book – More stories like Laura’s need to be told!

The Weekend Reset: The Shift From Day One to Celebrating Sober Firsts – The Sober Mom Life

My first sober vacation was a challenge, but when I was done I was in awe of myself. I did that! It was then that I started to think about the concept of ‘sober firsts’. Focusing on these challenging ‘first’ experiences with sobriety – the sober summer, the sober wedding, the sober holiday – helped me stay in touch with how sobriety was impacting my life. And let me tell you: the self-confidence that you build when you dedicate yourself really experiencing these sober firsts, even when they’re hard, is a self-confidence that you can rely on in every moment that comes after. Because you learn that you’ve got your back no matter what. That knowledge is invaluable. Are you gearing up to take your first sober vacation? Let me support you with this 5-day email series!What’s on your list of upcoming sober firsts? Tell me on IG or comment on the Spotify feed or leave it in a review on Apple! Today I’m highlighting chapter 7 of my book The Sober Shift. Get your copy here! Community makes all the difference.
