As a former Army chaplain who developed a toxic relationship with alcohol after leaving the military, I stayed on a solo rollercoaster of rock bottoms, recoveries and relapses. Finally, in the winter of 2022, I found my way out of the cycle by connecting with people like you. I started this podcast as a way to keep myself accountable and to help others who are in early sobriety. The not-so-secret solution to staying sober is connection, so let's break up with booze together!
Happy Mothers Day, sober mamas! Keep it up ladies. :-)
Yes, we are good people. So let’s start saying it.
A quiet minute to breathe and listen to the breeze.
This can be really hard, but fight back frustration with gratitude.
A quick message for my family who are having horrible cravings.
Spruce and I share some thoughts while on break at Amazon. :-)
Trying a new self-explanatory format. Goal is daily but we’ll just take it one day at a time. :-) Hope these minutes will encourage you!
Hey SoberFam,
I've been absent all winter because I've been focused on the gains I'm making at work and with my family. I'm sorry that I haven't done a good job of keeping you updated and I haven't been bringing you new content as I had hoped and planned last fall.
Full disclosure: this may be the final episode of this little pod, and if it is then I want to leave you with my deepest gratitude and love for all the support you've give...
Carly Reed spent 14 years trapped in the clutches of alcohol and drug addiction, mental health issues, and body dysmorphia.

Nico Morales grew up with pain inside that manifested itself in a number of ways, especially in the form of drugs and alcohol.
Finally at the age of 27 he was able to change his mindset and ultimately reorient the trajectory of his life for good.
You'll be inspired by his story and equipped with some helpful tools to use along your own journey!

Much love and peace,
Dana,...
Joy Rumore is a marathon runner from Tampa, FL who decided that enough was enough with booze in June 2022.
There's something to be said for making the decision to quit and simply doing it, even if simple doesn't mean easy.
You'll be inspired by Joy's journey before and after ditching alcohol. Connect with her on Instagram @saucesobriety!
Much love and peace,
Dana, Owl, and Spruce :-)
