Sober As $#@! Podcast

IN today's episode, On the first day of the new year, 2018 I talk about how it feels being sober and not hungover, how it feels to make a resolution to do more self care and how that translates for me to being more aware of what I'm eating, doing more exercise and how lately I've felt the addiction of Bulimia rearing its head in the back of my mind and how I'm being accountable to keep it away.

Christmas has passed and what a task that was! Snowboarding, driving back and forth to Northern California, and how to tackle the first 30 days of sobriety

Some weeks punch you others excite you. How do you keep going, keep pushing through?

Sometimes its good to go back to the beginning, ask yourself how did you get to where you're at now. How did I get from day 1 to day 679? How did I begin? How can I continue to go and add more days without forgetting where I began? So sometimes we take a minute to reflect, be grateful, remember, and always stay ODAAT.

It's been a while, but that's life, always messing with your schedule, throwing stressors. How do you cope, live, survive? Well the past 22 months I've been learning how and I'm sharing my experience with you.

Today's episode I'm reflecting on how far I've come, Sharing how amazing it was to listen to my son's recounting, and how I'm living in anxiety, depression, and humility.

Have you ever wondered what a child thinks about the parent going through alcoholism, how it effects them, their reactions? In this episode I did a very brief interview of my son asking him briefly how it felt. ** disclaimer my son (and daughter) was never in danger , he stayed frequently with my husband and his grandparents, another effect of my alcoholism was losing time with my kids because ultimately I wanted them safe even as I was destroying myself**

Thanks guys for listening, can't believe its been 20 episodes! Today's episode is about how my insanity has transferred lately to obsession of sugar and body dis-morphia. Have a Happy Monday!

Today's episode reflects the fact that sometimes despite our best efforts we can and do procrastinate at life, at our priorities, goals, and everything.

What is it with social situations and parties that is so hard?! How can I possibly be expected to interact with other people, I'm not able to? Oh wait yes I am, because I am learning how to be confident and how to love myself.

Some weeks are better than others, this week has thankfully been better, the grey cloud is lifting! I've been reading a lot recently, as part of my recovery I recover out loud and as part of my readings I read about how 1 in 8 Americans are alcoholics crazy right!

Sometimes Sobriety sucks, but its always worth it. Sometimes life feels like a never ending grey cloud-so lets use it to help other alcoholics and addicts suffering to know that they're not alone. Day 1 or day 607 days are just a number you never don't have enough time to help someone. Keep on working for recovery, you're worthy, even on the days you don't feel it!

Is Summer vacation over yet, when do kids go back to school? How hard is it to stay sober and care for kids? How can I save everyone who is still active in their addictions? Lets pledge to stay sober together through the weekend. Happy Friday!

Things I don't do anymore and the empowering feeling of knowing that I don't do these things.

Wow, it's been a long 12 days since I've done a podcast, sorry about the delay, as they say when things happen, they happen and apparently they happen fast.

1 dozen podcasts so far! Working on getting out of the pity party.
