In the past, the mindset of "taking a break" set me up for failure. As an all or nothing, go-big-or-stay-home person, the best approach for me was to jump into sobriety with both feet.  In this episode, I share how I got through detox and what happened when the pink bubble (Nature's nod to our efforts) popped. Alcohol use disorder is an honest mistake. We're not given the information we need to actually "drink responsibility." Addiction can happen to anyone. The good news is that separating fact from fiction will get you excited to stick with sobriety. You won't struggle with cravings for alcohol anymore that you need willpower to avoid stepping in dog sh!t.  Find the Survival Guide for First 10 Days of Sobriety at <a href= "https://recoverwithcolleen.com/freebies">recoverwithcolleen.com/freebies</a> Register for <a href= "https://recoverwithcolleen.com/Spontaneous-Sobriety-10-day-sales" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10 Days to Spontaneous Sobriety</a>.

How I Managed Early Sobriety

Would you like to reduce your alcohol consumption by 80 percent so you can enjoy drinking socially without relying on alcohol to manage your stress, anxiety, loneliness and boredom when you're by yourself? 

Most high achieving women assume over-drinking is caused by a lack of willpower--or worse, the incurable disease of "alcoholism." So they beat themselves up and avoid asking for help because they feel ashamed and out of control.

Whether you’re a daily drinker who can’t break the habit, or you're still going to sobriety meetings even though you don’t drink anymore, the real problem is that you don’t trust yourself. 

Which means it’s not about the alcohol. It’s about your relationship with yourself. 

I’m an intuitive drinking coach helping professional women learn how drinking less (or not at all) is actually a superpower, even when the idea of giving up the only thing that helps them quiet their mind feels impossible. 

The solution to alcohol use disorder is a FEELING. If you felt comfortable in your own skin and at ease in your life, you would drink like someone who is comfortable and at ease!

Join me each week for holistic, evidence-based strategies to fix your dopamine deficit, regulate your nervous system, cure imposter syndrome, manage sugar cravings, improve your sleep and reclaim your mental health so you no longer have the urge to escape your own body.

Get happy, not sober. Because happy people don’t drink themselves into a stupor.
