#142 Reasons to Stay Sober (Inspo for your "Why")

One of the greatest challenges many of us encounter after getting sober is continually wondering whether we should go back and give moderation another try. In this episode, I'm sharing some important reminders and reframes for anyone on a sober journey who is asking themselves that question.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my community, the Happiest Sober Hub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to my newsletter for sober tips & inspo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch my sober vlogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop my sober mugs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop my Amazon storefront⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMy favourite things⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If my content has helped you on your sober journey and you'd like to support my work, you can ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buy me a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Thanks for supporting my podcast by supporting my sponsors - you can view my list of current sponsors ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, I'm sharing my top tips for letting go of FOMO (the fear of missing out) in sobriety! The truth is, when we get sober, we STOP missing out on our lives... not the other way around! In this episode I share plenty of mindset tips to help you reframe your FOMO to sober gratitude, and to turn it into JOMO (the *joy* of missing out).⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my community, the Happiest Sober Hub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to my newsletter for sober tips & inspo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch my sober vlogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop my sober mugs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop my Amazon storefront⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMy favourite things⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If my content has helped you on your sober journey and you'd like to support my work, you can ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buy me a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Thanks for supporting my podcast by supporting my sponsors - you can view my list of current sponsors ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week my mom joins me for a chat about what can be one of the greatest challenges in sobriety: staying sober through feelings of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.

Staying connected to our "why" is one of the best things we can do for ourselves in sobriety, and the great thing about our "why" is that it gets to grow and expand as we get further on our sober journey! But just like anything else in life, sobriety can ebb and flow. Sometimes we go through periods where we're feeling a little disconnected from our "why" or not as motivated in our sobriety. This episode is here to give you a hit of sober inspiration and to help keep you connected to your why!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my community, the Happiest Sober Hub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to my newsletter for sober tips & inspo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch my sober vlogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop my sober mugs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop my Amazon storefront⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMy favourite things⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If my content has helped you on your sober journey and you'd like to support my work, you can ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buy me a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Thanks for supporting my podcast by supporting my sponsors - you can view my list of current sponsors ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, I'm chatting about something that I've heard many people struggling with lately, and that I also struggled with in my first couple years of sobriety. And that is: feeling disappointed in yourself and like it's a "failure" if you have moments of missing alcohol and wanting to drink. I share some reminders to help us return to the truth that having these moments is an inevitable part of getting sober. And rather than view them as a failure, we can reframe them as a sober WIN.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
