🔹 541 🔹 a breakfast like this was never on the menu when i was a drinker. in fact, breakfast never existed at all. i’d be so hungover i wouldn’t be out of bed until well after late afternoon, where i’d eat scraps of whatever i had the night before, and then straight to a liquid diet (booze if you catch my drift). but now, im hungry for the day and hungry to make something for myself. homemade waffles, coffee and a book on a sunday morning.. its what i would always see others having and i wanted that life. it wasn’t until i had enough of my shitty life that i made the change and created this life for myself. how is your sober sunday going? do you rest? have a sunday reset? meal prep? share in the comments! ⬇️ #alcohol #sunday #sundayreset #sundaythoughts #sobersunday #soberthoughts #alcoholic #alcoholism #recovery #alcoholicinrecovery

Day 219 AF. I was always extremely anxious about going to the doctors and I would always avoid medical examinations if I could help it. Being a long term heavy drinker, I was always petrified of the results. Therefore, I did my all to never go and see a GP. But recently I had a full body MOT health examination paid for by my employer. Something which made me extremely anxious for a couple of months prior. I went and had all the tests done.. Full blood tests, ECG, BP…. The entire works.. At the end of the session you sit with a doctor to discuss all your results and findings. For the first time in a very long time, all my results were perfectly healthy. For 7 months I’ve been on this battle being AF and to change my life. Being told and seeing these results were the best reward for my determination and hard work. I had no signs of heavy drinking damage and I am probably healthier and fitter than I have been for a long time. I wanted to share this because, I wanted to show the positives of staying strong if you are fighting alcohol or any addiction. You may not physically see any results initially, but I have now got proof that the body is healing itself inside. Trust the process and keep strong. The results will come and in time the rewards will show. I am feeling happy, proud and focused on continuing my journey. I feel the best I’ve done for a very long time and I don’t want that to ever change. Take care all. #sober #soberthoughts #soberliferocks #soberliving #soberlife #soberdad #soberhusband # #sobercommunity #soberinspiration #soberinstagram #soberbattle #sobercommunity #soberwarrior #soberchallenge #soberaf #soberjourney #soberhero #soberrecovery #sobercurious #sobervibes #soberdiaries #alcoholfree #alcoholfreelife #alcoholfreeliving #alcoholfreelifestyle #healthylifestyle #healthy #healthupdate #feelinghappy #feelingfocused 💪

It’s ALL about the dopamine 🧠✨ Last night the cinema cashier unexpectedly gifted me & my beautiful pal @trishtuckermay free tickets to Back to Black 🍿 OMG the dopamine hit from how this evolved and was HUGE!! We were totally giddy from the excitement of how it unfolded 💃💃 And I am STILL stoked this am. And here’s the thing: when alcohol fires up your brain chemistry you become rather blasé when the Universe delivers random magical moments into your lap - bc ultimately you don’t really value them… And when you remove alcohol from the mix one of two things can happen: One you have a fabulous pink cloud to waft you around ( so I am told) or two you can feel super flat for absolutely bloody ages (in my case years). Bc I didn’t know ANY sober people for the first few years of my sobriety I had no idea I was missing out on this wonderful floaty wafty-ness…. Then when I heard about it I rationalised I must just have fried my brain chemistry from all the booze fuelled ‘fun’ and I just kinda hoped that with enough time it would start to recalibrate. I have no science or facts for if this is even a thing but my view is if you believe something you can manifest it into becoming your truth ✨ Anyways a word on the movie: I loved watching it-and especially the parts set in Camden as I used to hang out at the market as a teen when I was spending weekends with my dad and then as a young 20 something used to frequent The Good Mixer. Not gonna lie there are parts which are super hard to watch - like Amy staggering around Soho - been there done that and I feel so grateful to have that firmly in the past. there’s a white line on a black screen at the end about how Amy died aged 27, of alcohol poisoning following a period of sobriety. Everyone in this space is so lucky to be here - bc not everyone makes it. Sending love, light and peace to everyone xx #dopamine #soberthoughts #soberlife #backtoblack #recovery #keepgoing #dontgiveup

Just a rant on personal health... How sober are we? I'm not even talking about alcohol or drugs. Substances are just fuel for mon-sober thinking. But we participate in clouded judgment, internal drama, all-or-nothing thinking, vendetta thinking, and deception culture even when we aren't ingesting substances. Our wellness depends largely on how sober our thinking is. On how honest we are with ourselves. Do we notice how we impact other, healthy-minded people? Do we see the outcomes in our life that we want to see?how often do we blame someone else or something out of our power, for our own actions and choices? When I quit drinking in January of 2022, I had no idea the journey I was going on. Quitting drinking was like the ityy bitty tip of the iceberg. My thinking and my choices were the monster under the surface. This year, so far...I find myself becoming sober from my food and exercise. That doesn't mean I'm no longer eating or working out! 😱 It means that I'm being more honest with myself about how my eating habits and exercise schedule affect the way I feel and perform, and affect my actual health. Being healthy on the surface is for others to see. But how do I FEEL? What am I DOING TO MYSELF? It's been a...sobering (bwahaha) process. I still love to get high on nature, time with my sons and others that I love, on learning, and on quality self-care time. For any of you who are still searching for the inner happiness feeling...keep going. The lessons we need are not always obvious until we find them. ❤️

"Treatment" for addiction that requires you to lock up, confine, coerce, or otherwise strip addicts of their autonomy, it isn't treatment. It is a revenge fantasy that prioritizes your desire for subjugation over the actual betterment of addicts.

It’s amazing how something as simple as walking saved me and gave me the life I have today. It’s not a magic bullet. I know as well as any addict, staying busy is the *best* way to avoid myself; planning things is a drug in and of itself for someone like me… But there’s this truly infuriating quality about walking—it’s inevitable—at some point I will get bored. Scary. Boredom is rare these days. You kind of have to work hard to put yourself in a position devoid of distraction, to get yourself alone with nothing to think about or do. Just you and your brain. Enter thru-hiking. Walking long distances is a type of therapy I need, one which gives my chaotic brain time to unravel—time to spiral itself into exhaustion—to run out of thoughts, to be bored. And then, after boredom, I have a chance to find real joy. Passing through the Gauntlet of Boredom makes the world a more worthwhile place for me, and my brain? It makes that a little quieter. I watched a movie on the plane ride home about sobriety. The main character’s sponsor made him sit in a room each morning and do absolutely nothing until it wasn’t painful anymore. Oof. I suppose that is what I am working towards, I guess doing nothing is the truest test of boredom. But I’m not terribly comfortable with stillness. It was reassuring, though, in a weird way, to learn that stillness doesn’t get easier. It hadn’t for the sponsor, anyways. He still practiced every day. I’ll find stillness in walking until I can embody it in other ways.

God I have a huge forehead 😂😂 embracing the second round of the 90s obsession about neon and had a VERY chilled weekend. I’ve been feeling blue/exhausted and sad past couple of weeks. I had a moment of the wine whispers in my ear, saying why don’t I have a couple of glasses of red to relax and forget about things. That’s the rub, I did that for over 25 years. Any form of stress/sadness/depression/uncomfortable emotions I quickly escaped from with alcohol. I’ve had to sit sober and navigate this a lot recently and realised it will pass, but for it to pass I need to acknowledge how I feel. Realise somethings and feelings are out of my control and for me to settle with a good routine and as much sleep as possible, which I struggle with badly, is the only way forward. Hope you’re all doing well, day by day my friends, life isn’t a competition yet we judge ourselves so much. Take it easy on yourselves sometimes.

Day 209 AF Same walk, same clothes, same pose.. but different thoughts.. I am so lucky I have a brilliant support circle around me. But I was thinking today how so much of my support has come from strangers. I never believed that people you didn’t know could help pull you up the mountain each day. The sober community on Instagram has helped me so much and it definitely has restored my faith in people I don’t know. A massive thank you for the support. I hope one day, I can offer the same level of support back.

💖 Yesterday the sun was shining and I felt that niggle so instead of wallowing in self pity I cranked up the volume of my tunes and had a wee kitchen rave all by myself. It worked, like music always does. I will be doing it again this weekend for sure because it's my last weekend off work and I always get those niggles, it pisses me off but they don't happen too often now and I always think about if I did have a drink how would I feel tomorrow and I'm not ready to ever go back to that pain. I'll have a wee bad mood about how it's not fair I can't have a drink (read 10 drinks) and then I'll get over myself.

I made a gratitude list and it actually helped. It helped me see the bright side of a hard day. Every possible thing was going wrong. It felt like the day was a loss. But wait, I found plenty to be grateful for. I just had to think about it. I had to be mindful. I almost enjoy this inner battle with myself.

FAQ: how do you do it, Bethany? Stay sober- be a mother, and run a team? Given we are all dealt different circumstances this is my answer: When you are not intentional you move into default. You have to decide ahead of time and become intentional. You are capable than so much more than you think. You have all the power through intention and choice: it is available for you. I am not a unicorn. I am an average person who decided to do extraordinary things with courage. And taking radical ownership and making radical decisions. You are too. Start giving yourself credit. 👌 Take that first step to get sober. Decide to take a more fulfilling job. Evaluate your friendship circle. • Hang in there, keep going.

Day 366 - Even after all this time I still have people who can’t seem to accept I don’t want to drink and try and get me to have just one. I think this is more about their discomfort in drinking alone.
