Living on the Bright Side of Sobriety with Jess and Ale of Mocksicated

Jess and Ale of the Mocksicated podcast are here today to share how their long time friendship blossomed into a public celebration of sobriety. Though they have been best friends since middle school, their relationships with alcohol always looked very different. Naturally, their sobriety journeys looked very different, too. However, once they were both sober, something new and beautiful came to fruition - The Mocksicated podcast! Their goal is to highlight the joy that can be found in sobriety, and to let you know that sobriety is an option for you no matter where you are on your journey! Content warning: This episode includes detailed descriptions of sexual assault. Listen to the Mocksicated podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mocksicated/id1668015373Follow Mocksicated on IG @mocksicatedAre you looking for community in sobriety?

So many women have told me that they wished a male version of this community existed for their husbands - and today I am so excited to tell you that I found one! Luc Zoratto is the creator of @marathon2sobriety. He is nine years sober, a marathon runner, and a 1-on-1 and group sober coach.  Luc tells the story of how his ‘work hard, play hard’ mindset led him to a life that was ruled by alcohol and cocaine. He’ll detail the intense shame he felt in becoming sober, and how he eventually overcame it to be a proud public voice in the community! Then, we’ll talk about how important it is for him to be a sober dad for his daughter after growing up in a home negatively affected by alcohol, and his viewpoint on the fact that his wife still drinks.  If your husband is sober curious or looking for sober support, check out Luc!  IG: @marathon2sobriety Luc’s coaching: https://www.marathon2sobriety.ca/ Luc’s sober running club in Toronto: @soberstriderunclub Are you looking for community in sobriety?

I recently returned from a trip to New Orleans for a friend’s wedding anniversary and while I was there, something happened. Today I’ll share about my experience and untangle my emotions around the fact that I’ve ‘outgrown’ so much of the drinking culture and habits that exist in cities like New Orleans and Vegas.  I am so grateful to The Sober Mom Life Cafe for giving me (and so many other amazing women!) a community I can lean on.
