“Be confident because you are a child of God. Be humble because everyone else is too.” — Glennon Doyle
It’s amazing how wise a 15-year-old can be. I’ve complained to my girl how angry everyone is making me lately…soccer parents, church people, just everyone. She said, “Mom, if you’re calm, everyone else will be calm.” Today, we are in a busy public area getting her drivers’…
Another sober writer commented on an article I wrote: "...Especially about knowing your limits. I refuse to make a cocktail for my husband, yet pouring him a glass of wine feels ok with me. Maybe because I don't like his wine! LOL. But the hard stuff is off limits for me. Thanks…
You will be bored when you first quit drinking. Suddenly the amount of extra time and mental awareness you have is stunning! And sometimes overwhelming. It's good to have a list of things to do so the boredom doesn't lead back to drinking.
Are there any good resources/groups for adult children of alcoholics that would be more relevant for younger generations? Like an 18 year old? Or are ACOA and Al-Anon still the best options?
The problem with escaping into a bottle is you can't learn, grow, change. You get stuck inside that tiny glass prison, sloshing around with whatever liquid is at the bottom. When you climb out of the bottle and breathe the fresh, clean air, you can once again see all the…
Everyone is different and it can take some time to get your brain back after you quit drinking. My friend Gillian Tietz has a great podcast on how and when your brain heals. open.spotify.com/episode/4GxwuW… And this one: open.spotify.com/episode/5xC7KR…
When you quit drinking and you're figuring out how you're going to stay sober for good, setting up and sticking to YOUR boundaries is key. It doesn't matter if anyone else understands or agrees.
You often see the phrase "alcohol and drugs" in articles, which is misleading because alcohol is a drug. They don't need to be separated. It'd be like saying "meat lovers' pizza and pizza." Meat lovers' pizza is a type of pizza. Alcohol is a type of drug.
I often hear that most people become heavy drinkers (choose your own label here) because of childhood trauma. I don't think that was the case for me. Was it for you? (No need to divulge specifics here...)
How often do you think about what your life looked like while you were drinking? Does it help in any way?
After you've been sober for a bit, wonderfully, miraculously, you get your brain back. Suddenly you can think again and solve problems again. You can handle big things like relationships and small things like what’s for dinner. The brain heals.
Part of the reason my brain was so blank while I was drinking was because I had drunk myself out of good health. My body wasn't working. Forget having the brain power to figure out an exercise routine. I could barely figure out how to get out of bed and take care of my children.
Do you feel like you're a new person since you quit drinking? OR you've rediscovered who you truly are? This may be two sides of the same coin. I enjoy dissecting nuances. 🤓

@JesusIsMyHabit Yup, I’m amazed at friends who can still be around drinking and stay sober. I just don’t have the self control. Maybe one day I will, I’m still new to this journey!
@JesusIsMyHabit I do, we live in Dublin, OH actually. But it’s a suburb of Columbus 😁
@JesusIsMyHabit @thepursuinglife Temporary insanity due to the sound of crinkling wrappers will definitely be used by my lawyer if I’m ever on trial for murder.
@KirkMcCall68 @JesusIsMyHabit Oh this happened to me in a Broadway show and I almost turned around with a death stare
@KirkMcCall68 8. Easy, because I would ask them to pipe down.
@KirkMcCall68 I think I am a 2. My daughter thinks I am a 5. This kind of thing makes me crazy distracted.
@KirkMcCall68 One time these teen girls in front of me were playing videos on their phones for each other and the flight attendant came thru and said “sound off ladies!” And I was like “phew” but they KEPT DOING IT. Haha I’m getting activated just thinking about it 😂
@KirkMcCall68 Omg this is me. Like I’m a nice person but if you’re on an airplane playing a game on your phone with the sound on I flip my lid so fast. It’s not just the rude part - it’s the injustice that they’re breaking a rule and getting away with it! 😂
@KirkMcCall68 4 and I am beyond distracted and fantasizing about doing VERY BAD THINGS
@KirkMcCall68 I’m a 2. I’m also a teacher and mom of 4. I think I’d still be able to read my book. Large distractions don’t bug me that much. But if the person next to me is tapping a pen, flipping a water bottle, or squawking their shoes, I’m done.
A question in the replies got me thinking about Enneagram types and how distracted they get by nearby disturbances. What's your number and how easy/difficult is it for you to stay focused in these kind of situations?
When you’re reading a book on the bus and another passenger decides to read an entire news article out loud to someone on the phone. (it was about lead in Lunchables, by the way)

@JesusIsMyHabit Yep! Back in Columbus now at my son’s soccer game 😆
@JesusIsMyHabit I’m super thankful my husband got rid of all the alcohol in our house and he’s fully sober too (he never really liked drinking anyways). I couldn’t stay sober if there was alcohol in the house and making alcoholic drinks for a spouse?! No way. I don’t have self control to do that
@JesusIsMyHabit We also have told the family our house is a dry house and no alcoholic drinks are allowed (or drugs or cannabis etc). I want my house to be a safe place for me and my recovery friends/family. We also told family we would never buy them alcohol anymore for gifts/at restaurants
