Something amazing I learned over ten years into my sober journey was to approach the unknown with childlike wonderment. Thanks to my grandson, Byren. . I had always wanted to have the jump on everything. Expect the worse so I won’t be disappointed. Driving myself mad with anxiety anticipating the future. Of course, we predict our future with our past information. . Well, how accurate could that be if we’ve changed from the inside out? . Or is that where the struggle starts by trying to change the drinking but not the thinking? Outside in? . This holiday season meet every conversation, invitation, and any situation with curiosity instead of prediction and judgment. . And watch what happens. . All the best this holiday season. .

This is a post from the FACEBOOK group #soberrevolutionaries . My little man and I had a long night. . I just took this picture checking on him, 11:00 am. . Byren is my grandson. I would have never dreamt I would be the amazing grandmother I am. . In my teens I didn’t want children. I was pregnant at seventeen with my first son. . In my twenties I was a great provider and law enforcer to my sons. My ex couldn’t keep a job so he was basically the stay at home dad and used “I’m going to tell your mom,” all the time. Even long after our divorce. . In my thirties, my burnout and heart break led to misusing alcohol extraordinarily well. My new normal, living uncomfortably numb, left me vulnerable to a man who promised to take care of me and EVERYTHING. . Within two years I no longer wanted to wake up. . When I quit drinking long enough I became sober. . Not misusing alcohol or abstinence does not make you sober. . Sober is being calm, clear headed, steadfast, intentional, responsible, in-purpose, cool, self-possessed. . When you are sober you are available to life’s most meaningful and precious moments. Like caring for your sick grand baby with tenderness, love, and patience. . I do life with sober intentions. . Recovery is not needed to live sober. Sober is not about being abstinent. . How are you living sober intentional? . #soberrevolution #soberlifestyle #soberbychoice #sobernotrecovery #sobernotabstinent #author #soberrevolutionist #whollysober #holysober #theprimeddrinker #soberrevolutionaries (at Pink Cloud Coaching, Sober Revolution) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5QmwxHpvnk/?igshid=urwwo8c8tpqb

“Sobriety was something I hadn't known in all my life. Specifically misusing alcohol to numb out, shut off, and dumb down since I was twelve years old. I had important decisions to make. I started with what mattered most, my sobriety. Once I got clear on that everything seemed to fall into place.” . #soberrevolution #author #whollysober #theprimeddrinker #sobernotabstinence #sobernotrecovery #soberwithoutrecovery #reclaimingsober #takecharge #rethinkingyourdrinking #coach #advocate https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VjDleJ6pZ/?igshid=1fct6m44c5vh3

Read the words, close your eyes and let them linger, breathe deep and full into your diaphragm, and exhale. .

Feelings are like waves we can’t stop them from coming but we can choose which ones to surf. . I have bad days. I know shocker. I wake up and stumble to the coffee pot and spill coffee grounds and when I grab a towel to scoop it up I knock over my water glass. . My initial reaction is to scream and get pissed, but I know if I give into this emotion it could hijack the rest of my day and I don’t like wasting life on feeling bad. . Feeling angry, frustrated, irritated will block the light of truth, joy, and possibilities. .

When you come to the awareness your relationship with alcohol needs to change you need to understand that depending on how integrated it was in your life—things, people, places, activities, events, holidays, will be affected. . What you need to consider is sometimes it will change relationships for the better, events will be different but don’t mean that they won’t be a hoot, holidays can be even better, and living conscious, awake, and aware you are in charge to create what you want. . No more living by default, settling for less than, and waking up with a shameover. . #soberrevolution #reclaimingsober #notanalcoholic #author #empoweringwomen #whollysober #theprimeddrinker #yourlifeiswaiting #whatdoyouwant #youreincharge #sobernotrecovery #sobernotabstinent (at Primed to Pink Cloud to Sober Revolution) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mzz2-pl-9/?igshid=v1orup4xz7tz

This is exactly how I feel about my pre-sober self. I love that broken, badass girl who only knew how to survive. She barely made it out alive, but she did make it. . It wasn’t abstinence that developed the woman I was becoming. If I would have just stopped drinking and not done anything else I would have gotten drunk again and again and again. . It was having a clear mind, an open heart, and having a defined intention of who I wanted to be and how I wanted to live. I wanted to be wide-eyed and awake to be what I knew I could. . Only I’ve surpassed even my dreams. . The great news is you just build bigger, brighter, and bolder dreams. . #soberrevolution reclaiming what it means to truly live sober! . #author #theprimeddrinker #whollysober #sobernotrecovery #sobernotabstinence #reclaimingsober #goingafterlife #thisismylife #norecoveryconveyorbelt #systematicalcoholism (at Primed to Pink Cloud to Sober Revolution) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2iOHvnJWU-/?igshid=18yqh8xab47ak

FREEDOM & RELIEF... a client’s experience . My experience with Teresa was one of the best I’ve had with a professional coach, psychologist, guide and what ended up feeling like a friend. . In no way was Teresa confrontational and in every way was supportive, encouraging and in each and every assessment call, she welcomed my true self (even if I wasn’t sure what that was), and left the door open for me to look a little deeper and differently at what was playing out in my life….Truth is, talking about my relationship with alcohol wasn’t easy  - it took a year for me to nerve-up to call her – but we ended up talking less about alcohol and more about what was behind the relationship that I have with it. . Teresa campaigned my finding /exploring the fullest version of a good and joyous life that I could, the biggest challenge I face. Turns out my challenges are not rooted in alcohol but rather my choices/perceptions. I experienced such freedom and relief in talking to someone that didn’t label me as “alcoholic” and insist or refer to the oft-associated disease model we all know. . My deepest gratitude to a level headed, heart-centered person; thank you, Teresa. . #reclaimingsober #soberrevolution #empoweringwomen #lifecoach #author #theprimeddrinker #whollysober #notanalcoholic #sobernotrecovery #nodiseasetomanage (at Primed to Pink Cloud to Sober Revolution) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2fLkf2p5hC/?igshid=1tlq0lsit0xuq
