In sobriety, we don’t choose easy. And thank God for that.
This Morning Call is a reminder you didn’t stumble into this life by accident. You chose it — knowing full well it would ask more of you than the old one ever did.
We live in a world obsessed with shortcuts, numbing, and the illusion of ease. But sobriety isn’t built on quick fixes or surface comfort. It’s built on courage. On choosing presence over escape. Truth over avoidance. Growth over the familiar poison of “just getting through.”
In this episode, we talk about the real question sobriety asks of us every single day:
Not will it be hard? — but which hard will you choose?
Because drinking was hard. Lying to yourself was hard. Waking up ashamed, anxious, and disconnected was hard. Sobriety simply asks for a different kind of hard — one that builds strength instead of stealing it.
This is about choosing the long road.
The brick-by-brick work.
The daily decisions that quietly build freedom.
If you’re navigating discomfort, craving, loneliness, or doubt — this one’s for you. The teacher has arrived. And she’s here to make you stronger.
Take a breath.
Stand your ground.
And remember who you are.
As always — in sobriety, in power, and in community.
Not today, lady. Not today.
