Breaking up with Alcohol

I’ve been reading more posts about how a relationship with alcohol is a lot like an abusive relationship, or at least one that just doesn’t work anymore. I am reposting my blog at 40 days sober (I am now at 510!) because it’s exactly what I experienced.

Day 40: It’s Complicated

The Eclipse and Sobriety

Today, people all across the U.S. are making plans to watch a miracle of timing, when the moon and sun align to produce an astronomical phenomena that momentarily transforms the way we see the world.

I would say that your decision not to drink today is just as awe-inspiring, transformative, and mind-altering as the eclipse. Your decision to take back your power sends shock waves through the universe, leaving no one untouched by its wave of positive energy.

You are a force to be reckoned with. Unleash your power. 💕

 

 

Another Kick-Ass Blogger Begins

I love to call out new bloggers, because I remember how important (and scary) it was to have people reach out to me, especially in the early days.

Here’s Carey, on DAY 1 at Retiring Carol!

She calls her blog Retiring Carol because her drinking alter-ego was given a name by family members. She wants her gone.

Very clever.
