Happy St Patricks Day! . Darren Hardy is one of my virtual mentors. I shared with you during the EXPLORE video series that I didn't focus on having a disease, alcoholism, meetings, twelve steps, sponsors, and all the other traditional protocols. . I studied about how to become the woman I wanted to be and how I wanted to live my life. . One of the many books I turned to was The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. . He is giving away hard copies of his book for free; you just pay for shipping. . https://join.darrenhardy.com/the-compound-effect/?_ga=2.148445428.25753324.1584461264-575164878.1584461264 . I have the CD disc set, audible, and the softcover book. I still refer to it often. . Misusing alcohol and developing a deep habit of relying on alcohol to cope can be undone with Time, Intention, and Practice. . #soberrevolution #stopaddictiontotradition #compoundeffect #thinkforyourself #habitnotdisease #theprimeddrinker #whollysober #exploresober #soberexplorer #author #coach #lifecoachforwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/B91-hgUJuZg/?igshid=stvv2xputait

Measuring your success by whether you drink or not is one of the greatest pitfalls of traditional recovery. . Most of us already feel pretty lousy when we get to the realization our drinking habit needs to change. . The last thing we need is to feel like we’ve failed because we do what has become natural without time, intention, and practice to create a new normal. . Progress can be measured in many ways than just how many days you managed to abstain. . #soberrevolution #pinkcloudlife #sobernotabstinence #author #lifecoach #soberisfreedom #whollysober #theprimeddrinker #breakingtradition #breakrecoverytradition #soberexplorer https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cuC5YJy7E/?igshid=o2g57m2rg9gx

Life is meant to be experienced, not controlled. . When I stopped making my sobriety about abstinence and instead allowed myself to get curious about who I was becoming, I experienced sublime freedom. . My focus became and is on fully experiencing life on purpose with a clear mind, open heart and defined intention. . Maybe your struggle isn’t the alcohol but the control and identity the traditional path insists on. . Think about it. . #soberrevolution #soberisfreedom #soberexplorer #explore28dayjournal #rethinkingyourdrinking #goafterlifesober https://www.instagram.com/p/B8WvPEnpVj8/?igshid=wkzzu3l1pm0t

How are you balancing concerns, doubt, fear, boredom with #stayathome #covid19 . I've noticed besides a couple momentary lashouts I am focusing on how to make the most out of everything and do things I've never done. . As I shared in a private Facebook group, #soberexplorers, I am practicing curiosity and exploring. . What else do I not know about me? . So, I baked this banana nut with crumble for my hubby this morning. It looks delicious and smells divine. . But this is just the tip of the iceberg. . I am redesigning my business. . I've deleted #facebook from my phone . And I am rearranging my priorities. . Who will you be when we emerge through this #pandemic . #pinkcloudcoaching #itsnotaboutthealcohol #soberfreedom #alcoholicsanonymous #notwelvesteps #rethinkingrecovery #igotthis #itsmylife https://www.instagram.com/p/B-rzPauDedf/?igshid=1f3hg45nob7dn

FREEDOM OVER FEAR - When I left AA and the Twelve Steps, I remember the fear was mounting. . “Your disease is in the parking lot doing push-ups and getting stronger,” preached in every meeting. . I was prepared to drink to calm that fear. . Instead, I chose to ride my pink cloud out of the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous more than sixteen years ago and still haven’t had a drink. . Are you letting other people speak fear into you? . Join our private Facebook group Sober Explorers, to explore what sober could be for you. . #pinkcloudcoaching #soberrevolution #freedomoverfear #soberisfreedom #sobermyway #feardestroyssobriety #soberexplorers https://www.instagram.com/p/B8tzy_2pfK7/?igshid=18bpdjzn2k3v5

Sober is defined by many things... . Abstinence is not one of them. . Is the thought of not drinking keeping you from exploring your relationship with alcohol? . Misusing alcohol is a way for us to cope with things like thoughts, feelings, decisions that we don't know how to face and move through. . Often our imagination is much scarier than the truth. . You can explore without the traditional language and program associations to find your sober freedom. . Pink Cloud Coaching has been helping women reclaim their power through sober freedom since 2012. . #soberrevolution #soberfreedom #soberexplorer #author #coach #advocate #soberforwomen #sobrietyforwomen #truesobriety #sobertruth https://www.instagram.com/p/B9FLHPrJWsY/?igshid=gkgjnzzn6snq
