I am thrilled to be able to share my friend and behind the scenes at Busy Living Sober guru Caroline Niziol’s story of sobriety.
Caroline and I met through a friend that had no idea that Caroline is SOBER! What I call a God wink!
Caroline didn’t get sober the way I did but she did use similar tools that I did but she found those resources organically.
Listen to her story….
To reach Caroline:
On this day 7 years ago I talked about Alcohol Awareness Month! We are still celebrating alcohol awareness 7 years later so I think the topic is relevant.

In today’s episode I talk about going down the self doubt rabbit hole... It feels extremely yucky and self deprecating.

My answer forever was the last drink or maybe one in between the first and the last but I was wrong….
Listen to my story!
Being an alcoholic or problem drinker does not mean you are a bad person!
Remember you have a disease in my opinion.

During this season of Lent and Passover I felt it was important to focus on God and people that have unwavering faith and commitments to God.
One of my biggest personal beliefs is that long term sobriety only happens when you have some sort of relationship with God.
I have spoken about God’s little winks and this podcast is an example of one of his winks. I recently reached out to a friend looking for an introduction to s...

The story I think back to is when a Hurricane was heading in the same direction as we were on our vacation ... .What did we do? Listen….
