SOBER . Feeling unbelievably blessed. Over the last few days I have received several calls from friends. Each wanting to chat about something they're working through. . I feel blessed that I was available for each of their calls. . I feel blessed that I am someone they trust to listen and support them. . I feel blessed because they know when they call me, they'll get the truth and not platitudes. . I feel blessed that we tell each other, ”I love you, ” before ending the call. . It feels good to love and be loved. . Most of my life, I was cold, disconnected, and lonely. I didn't trust people and kept them at a safe distance. . When I got sober, I decided to take a risk and let love in. I remember making that conscious choice to no longer resist what was innate--love. . I've never regretted it in the last seventeen years. . Friends are the sprinkles on the cupcake of life. ❤️🥰🤗 and I love sprinkles . #sober #lifecoach #sober #author #advocate #soberfreedom #sobernotabstinence #whollysober #theprimeddrinker #primednotalcoholic https://www.instagram.com/p/CBl9B2fj7Sg/?igshid=1o94shxc0rf1g

Time stands still for no one. . I was watching a program last night, and this guy was carried to his bed to sleep off a lot of booze. . I think this was a one-off for him, meaning this was not his usual behavior. . But it showed how life was carrying on in the middle of the day while he was sleeping it off. . It got me to thinking how many of us do this regularly and purposely opt out of life. . We forfeit our time to live. . I don’t think a lot of us really think about it like that. We kind of try not to think I about it at all. . But I want you to think about it. I want you to face the truth. I want you to decide to be intentional and live your life on purpose with purpose. . This is not to scare you or guilt you. This is me sharing love for you. . You have a choice. . Wake up and live or shortchange yourself and exist uncomfortably numb. . It’s a choice! . #pinkcloudcoaching #soberrevolution #soberbychoice #sobernotabstinence #soberisfreedom #lifecoachforwomen #author #sobertime #whollysober #itsnotaboutthealcohol https://www.instagram.com/p/B81fV92phFL/?igshid=2oas7vvu4z3c

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

When I first got sober EVERYTHING was centered on how crappy my life and choices had been. . Okay. Got it. Nothing wrong with some introspection. That’s important work. . But around month nine I would rather be drunk than wade through my past and listen to the horrors of others past over and over again. . I was excited to see what I could do and who I could be with sober intention. . Free to become who I chose to be. . I could have never imagined. EVER! . Be the master of your destiny. . You have that choice. . Claim authorship! .

Childlike wonder is gifted by my grandson and being wholly sober has taught me to honor my childlike wonder which gives us both memories for a lifetime. . Sober should be measured by the quality of your life, not by the number of days you’ve struggled to maintain abstinence. . #soberrevolution #author #childlikewonder #whollysober #theprimeddrinker #sobernotabstinence #shiftyourfocus #empowerment #halloweenfun #soberisfreedom https://www.instagram.com/p/B35QZtcpI7L/?igshid=121l7mmxqt9ez

On my run today... . Feeling blessed I’ve learned the value of pausing for the moments. . I just stopped and said hello. After a minute or so she joined her fawn on the other side of the path that I would have missed if I had kept running by. . What are you missing by being busy, in a hurry, focusing on the pain or problem, or trying to just get through it? Whatever it is. . Pause. Pay attention. Practice presence. . Life is flying by and there is no do-over. . #soberrevolution #author #whollysober #theprimeddrinker #empowerment #pause #payattention #presence #practice #soberisnotabstinence #sobernotabstinence https://www.instagram.com/p/B348N4wJEyY/?igshid=19e6t9m5989ak

“Sobriety was something I hadn't known in all my life. Specifically misusing alcohol to numb out, shut off, and dumb down since I was twelve years old. I had important decisions to make. I started with what mattered most, my sobriety. Once I got clear on that everything seemed to fall into place.” . #soberrevolution #author #whollysober #theprimeddrinker #sobernotabstinence #sobernotrecovery #soberwithoutrecovery #reclaimingsober #takecharge #rethinkingyourdrinking #coach #advocate https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VjDleJ6pZ/?igshid=1fct6m44c5vh3
