It Adds Up........


I love The Rock such wise words. Nothing happens over night not unless we're talking about a hangover! One day at a time.....

I woke up really early again today (my dog is old & when she needs to go, she needs to go!) so the consequence of my early walk was my inability to get back to sleep, don't get me wrong, I did try! So into my 'twilight' hours I went....
I sound like I'm moaning but I'm really not. I enjoy this 'me' time when I do a bit (actually a lot) of reading,  the age of the internet really can take us everywhere & to anything. 

I found myself looking at Coaching & Coaches wow what a broad spectrum of people & businesses. I realised that there are tons of us out there. It made me glad that I have a 'niche' of clients that I'm working with who all have the same common bond 'their desire to look at their relationship with alcohol'. 

This doesn't mean they're total alcoholics. It doesn't mean that they want to be totally sober. It might mean that 'wine o'clock' is getting to be every day & for another hour longer. It may mean that they don't drink for days & then have a 'total binge'. It could be that they've just hit 40 & appraising their life. We all have a different reason. Mine was my mortality & the want to live my best life for the longest time. What's your reason?

Everyone is different but what I do know is that I'm nearly 6 years sober. I have experience of moderating, cutting down & living with or without alcohol. This stands for so much - I've been there done it AND I've got the t-shirt!!!

3 Empowering Words: I DON'T DRINK

Day 11 Dry January 2021 Happy Monday Everyone! How are you? I'm 'live' on 'Your Sober Coach' Facebook Page every day @9am. I post it so you can go back & watch it. There's one for every day so far. I hope they help especially if you've just joined me. The Little Book of Confidence by Susan Jeffers is one of my favourites: Here are 2 pages that I've found really helpful: What Happens When You Give 100%? When you commit to giving 100% to all areas of your life, your sense of focus, excitement, participation, enjoyment fulfilment & happiness come alive, perhaps for the first time. What a glorious feeling this is! Giving 100% Does Not Mean Forever. Life is always bringing us new adventures. New challenges arise involving career moves; relationships may end, & so on. But if you have given 100%, when the time comes to move on, there is nothing to regret. I love this & have found it really helpful & incredibly reassuring. How's your note...

Day 7 - ONE WEEK!!!!!! Morning All Emotions - when you give something up it tends to heighten the emotions. Are you feeling more emotional than usual? Every time I stopped drinking for a period of time it would feel like an Emotional Rollercoaster!!!! Tearful? I would cry at anything. Do you use alcohol as a crutch? I know I did. Think about it. You've taken your crutch away or you could call it a safety blanket - everything feels a bit raw doesn't it? Are you feeling sad? You're missing your friend in the bottle. Habits are so hard to break - CONGRATULATIONS - you've broken the back of the first week. This is a HUGE achievement - WELL DONE! 7 Days in....Your sleep should be alot better. Your skin, is it clearer, almost brighter? Your whites of your eyes, are they clearer? Write it all in your notebook. We're fast approaching Friday Night - 'The Danger Zone' - Plan Ahead what are you going to do? Decide how your evening's going to pan out. Plan what you...

Don't Be Afraid. Be........

Morning All Day 8 Dry January 2021 I'm awake at the crack of a sparrow's fart yet again. And I've made use of my twilight hours by completing my tax return. I've always been a last minute .com kinda girl. Give me a deadline & I will go right up to the final hour. So I'm proud of myself for not doing my usual 11.55pm on January 31st. How are you? This quote from Michelle Obama is one of my favourites. Don't Be Afraid. We are all so much stronger than we think we are. My mantra for 2021 is 'feel the fear & do it anyway' this is from a book by Susan Jeffers that I read years ago. Get yourself a copy if you've not read it. I found it truly inspiring. You are all being incredibly brave by embracing Dry January - you are creating a NEW YOU. Be Focused : Focus on YOU. Focus on your selfcare. Focus on your emotions. Focus on planning your days. Focus on not drinking alcohol. Focus on getting out in the fresh air. Focus on what you're grateful for...
