Taking abstinence off the table allows many the flexibility to consider other healing possibilities and choose for themselves, giving them a sense of empowerment. . Research has shown time and again that feeling trapped, helpless, and hopeless (powerless) is a significant driver in drug and alcohol misuse and abuse. . If you're not finding sober success on the traditional path, try something different. . We are uniquely designed, and what works for some doesn't work for all. . As they say, insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. .

Our focus is not measuring your success by the number of days you abstain but by your effort to develop as a wholly integrated clear-minded and intentional woman. . Focus all your energy into becoming who you wish to be. . #soberrevolution #whollysober #soberintentions #soberrevolutionaries #wearenotpowerless #notpowerless #iamsober #sobernotabstinent #author #theprimeddrinker (at Pink Cloud Coaching, Sober Revolution) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5nXftHpxl4/?igshid=qmtk8hx7jner

My Aunt Ruthie (left) and my Mom. They had no idea how life would roll out for them. . Innocent and sweet little girls. . They both endured what many would believe to be hell on earth. . My Aunt Ruthie I have so much love for her. She was the matriarch of our family. She roared her demands and followed through with whoopins nobody wanted. . She was also a prankster. She LOVED shouting and startling my mom. BANG! She would scream unexpectedly and mom would pierce her lips, “you ain’t right, Ruth!” Ruthie would be crying with laughter and gasping for air. I miss her. . Why I bring her up now? . The last time I saw my auntie I don’t even remember it. I paid to have our downstairs bathroom able to accommodate her wheelchair just so she could come to Thanksgiving dinner. I paid her shuttle service. I wanted her there so bad. . But I started drinking earlier in the day than normal and by dinner time I was drunk. . The next time I would see her it would be to say goodbye while she lie in a coma. . My wish for you is that you experience your loved ones sober. Not just alcohol free but BE with them. Make eye contact, hold their hand, tell them how much they mean to you. . I love you, Ruthie. . #soberrevolution #author #whollysober #holysober #soberintentions #coach #sobernotabstinent #sobervsrecovery https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ZOOd_JBHJ/?igshid=zti966z9p7by

This is a post from the FACEBOOK group #soberrevolutionaries . My little man and I had a long night. . I just took this picture checking on him, 11:00 am. . Byren is my grandson. I would have never dreamt I would be the amazing grandmother I am. . In my teens I didn’t want children. I was pregnant at seventeen with my first son. . In my twenties I was a great provider and law enforcer to my sons. My ex couldn’t keep a job so he was basically the stay at home dad and used “I’m going to tell your mom,” all the time. Even long after our divorce. . In my thirties, my burnout and heart break led to misusing alcohol extraordinarily well. My new normal, living uncomfortably numb, left me vulnerable to a man who promised to take care of me and EVERYTHING. . Within two years I no longer wanted to wake up. . When I quit drinking long enough I became sober. . Not misusing alcohol or abstinence does not make you sober. . Sober is being calm, clear headed, steadfast, intentional, responsible, in-purpose, cool, self-possessed. . When you are sober you are available to life’s most meaningful and precious moments. Like caring for your sick grand baby with tenderness, love, and patience. . I do life with sober intentions. . Recovery is not needed to live sober. Sober is not about being abstinent. . How are you living sober intentional? . #soberrevolution #soberlifestyle #soberbychoice #sobernotrecovery #sobernotabstinent #author #soberrevolutionist #whollysober #holysober #theprimeddrinker #soberrevolutionaries (at Pink Cloud Coaching, Sober Revolution) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5QmwxHpvnk/?igshid=urwwo8c8tpqb

It's a new month. . Fresh start. . Who are you choosing to be? . How are you choosing to live? . We often forget just how many opportunities in one single day we are empowered to make. . And each choice moves us closer or further away from our true heart desires. . Instead of counting the days you are abstinent, make the days count! . That’s being sober. . #soberrevolution #choices #empowered #author #coach #whollysober #theprimeddrinker #sobernotabstinent #maketodaycount #hellonovember https://www.instagram.com/p/B4UpT3_J2AV/?igshid=2kmkjfe50ag5

I was excited to break free from alcohol over sixteen years ago. It seemed liberating to me. . Of course I had the habit of drinking for entertainment, problems, emotions, but with practice and once I started focusing on what really mattered alcohol became a NON-ISSUE. . Counting the days you abstain doesn’t matter as much as making your days count. . #soberrevolution #sobernotabstinent #empowerment #encouragement #coaching #truealcoholfreedom #breakingdrinkinghabit #shiftyourfocus #author #advocate #whollysober #theprimeddrinker https://www.instagram.com/p/B4SeUKLJijb/?igshid=2v22ipd8y2f1

“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.” . From Sober Revolution Blog “Mindset Changes Sobriety” .

IS THE MODERN INTERPRETATION OF SOBER KEEPING YOU STUCK? . “‘Sober’ is translated from the Greek word that means to be calm and collected, to have good sense, good judgment, wisdom, and level-headed in times of stress.” . Drinking helps people dull the pain of not fulfilling their potential. . Take the constant preoccupation of drinking or not drinking off the table and encourage people to go deep and discover their sober truth helps them break free from the need to misuse alcohol. . Read all about this and more in my book, The Primed Drinker.
