One of the things I struggled with in the beginning of sobriety was the abundance of time. My days basically doubled when I quit drinking, and it was really hard to fill my time when I was SO bored, yet also hyper and restless.What was once a burden on my life is now my favorite part about life!! Having the entire day to be productive and enjoy life has truly been a blessing. I went from "when is this day going to end?" to "I've done so much with my day."In this episode, I'll give you some advice for those tough early days and share how I transitioned from hating the extra time to absolutely loving it :)More resources: TheSoberScoop.comFB support group: @The Scoop TroopIG: @thesoberscoopPersonal IG: @indiagantsTikTok: @thesoberscoopYouTube: @thesoberscoopEmail: [email protected]

In today’s episode, we’re talking about healthier ways to manage stress without turning to alcohol. For so many of us, drinking has been the go-to because it works fast -it takes the edge off and gives quick relief. But that relief is temporary, and it doesn’t actually address what’s underneath the stress. Over time, it can leave us feeling even more anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle.So today, I’m sharing simple, practical strategies you can use in those moments when stress hits -tools that help you actually move through what you’re feeling instead of escaping it. Because most of the time, it’s not that we truly want alcohol, we just want relief. And there are healthier ways to get there.More resources: TheSoberScoop.comFB support group: @The Scoop TroopIG: @thesoberscoopPersonal IG: @indiagantsTikTok: @thesoberscoopYouTube: @thesoberscoopEmail: [email protected]

A lot of times, our "addiction" is not to alcohol itself, but rather the need for dopamine and comfort. We're addicted to saying yes to something that will bring immediate joy/ pleasure. As soon as we can learn to deny ourselves that instant gratification and stay focused on our long term goals, sobriety (and life in general) become easier!Controlling our impulses benefits us in more ways than one: our sobriety, diet, fitness, anger management, cleanliness... and in today's episode we're talking about it ALL.

The purpose of this episode is to make you never want to drink again. So many of us reach a point in sobriety where we start wondering if we could drink again. But the real question isn’t whether we could -it’s why would we want to?Cancer. Cirrhosis. Hepatitis… oh my. The truth is, there is nothing good that comes from alcohol consumption. Once I started learning about the real health risks, it scared me straight into sobriety. That knowledge became my rock bottom. I didn’t need another embarrassing night or bad decision -these facts did it for me. And the pain I was experiencing in my liver felt like a warning sign pointing toward a dark future if I didn’t make a change.If this episode helps even one person quit drinking or stay sober, I’ll consider it a win.FB support group: JOIN HEREIG: @thesoberscoopPersonal IG: @indiagantsTikTok: @thesoberscoopYouTube: @thesoberscoopEmail: [email protected] resources: TheSoberScoop.com

Alcohol doesn’t actually give you restful sleep -it sedates you. It can keep you in lighter, fragmented sleep and reduce REM, the stage where your brain restores mood and energy.So if you wake up at 3am or feel groggy every morning, alcohol may be part of the reason. Removing it often helps your sleep regulate again -and better sleep improves almost everything!OSEA's Dream Collection: https://oseamalibu.com/scoopThe Zero Proof (functional drinks): https://thezeroproof.com/SCOOP?q=best-non-alcoholic-adaptogen-nootropic-herbal-functional-drinks

Click to watch on YouTubeToday we are diving into why I personally did not do AA. While I believe it's a great option for some people, it wasn't for me. And I actually think the thought of having to attend an AA meeting is part of what kept me from getting sober... I didn't want to sit in a room with other sober people and openly call myself an alcoholic.So today, I'm explaining why it wasn't for me, and how you can get sober with or without AA. There's no one "right way" to get sober.** The woman I referenced in the episode is @laurenissober on tiktok :)Join our FB Support Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/19diFkDyF2/

Is sobriety even a "thing" in the UK? Because I feel that having a drinking problem is so normalized over there -and maybe not even viewed as a problem.

If I had stayed on the path I was on, it was going to end one of three ways: jail, death, or sobriety. And I’m so grateful I chose sobriety.Just because I’d been lucky so far didn’t mean my drinking wasn’t going to catch up with me, it just meant it hadn’t yet.
