In today's we are talking with Reframer, Lynne Doom. Lynne is a retired Nursing Home Administrator with a passion for all things rugged outdoors, canning foods from her garden, and tapping into creativity through scrapbooking and journaling. She started on Reframe in March 2022 on the cutback track and switched to alcohol-free on June 3, 2022.

Lynne has navigated an alcohol-free lifestyle while being surrounded by alcohol. All of the people she loves still drink alcohol, including her husband. She’s successfully navigated vacations, weddings, funerals, and countless social gatherings surrounded by alcohol by fiercely protecting her journey and making it her top priority.

Lynne credits much of her success to the Reframe app, regularly attending Reframe community meetings via Zoom, connecting with her sober community on Reframe and Instagram, and having accountability partners. Lynne would love for you to connect with her on Instagram @Lynne.living.life.  Lynne famously says, “what began as a journey to reevaluate my relationship with alcohol has become one of the best years of my life. I am living fully again, and I am loving every moment of it.”

In today's episode we talk with Kat Porco. Kat shares with us her story of going from working at a non-profit for cystic fibrosis to being a bar owner who's sober.  Along with her husband Mike they are pushing the boundaries of nightlife in the small mountain town of Red Lodge, MT. They own One Legged Magpie, a craft cocktail bar with one of the most robust zero proof menus in the nation. Kat knows that much of the allure of drinking is the ritual, the pause in life when you raise a glass, the sense of community, and the conversations that evolve. We all seek out people,  celebrations, and energy. All of which are available at Magpie, sans alcohol. Our staff is predominately sober, offering a unique perspective in our world that is flooded with booze. Sober for a night or for a lifetime, all are welcome.

In today's episode we talk with Steph Prangley. Steph is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Recovery Coach living with her husband, 3 dogs, and too many houseplants in Greenville, SC. She runs The Sober Rebellion, a virtual private practice helping clients use nutrition and functional wellness practices to enhance recovery efforts, repair their body from the damage done with long-term alcohol use, and address underlying conditions that often overlap with chronic alcohol use.

More than a nutrition practice, The Sober Rebellion is about helping people feel their best in the holistic sense, so they can let go of external expectations in a world telling them “you’re not enough” and “you come last”. Clients learn to live a fulfilling life with passion, purpose, and permission to rest, fueled by restoring physical and emotional health and getting in alignment with values.

Steph’s story is deeply rooted in a history of high-achieving perfectionism and self-sabotage cycle. In her 20s and 30s, she escaped feelings of low self-worth by overworking and disordered eating. In her late-30s, she began healing her relationship with work, food, and her body, but developed a disordered relationship with alcohol instead.

Steph has found freedom from alcohol, work addiction, and disordered eating by addressing her chronic health conditions and feelings of low self-worth. She loves serving her community and is passionate about using her training, experience, and education to serve people healing their relationship with alcohol.

In today’s episode we're going to do something slightly different and that is to answer a question sent by one of our Reframe users.  This question is related to ideas on resisting the urge for the post-work drink as well as dealing with the temptation to stock up on alcohol when you're at the grocery store.  I wanted to share some ideas and tools we can use to get through these situations.  I am going to broaden it a little bit as well and just answer the general question of ways to get through a craving, whether after work, on a day off, or just any time we may have an urge to grab a drink when we don’t want to.

Some Tools We Discuss:

• H.A.L.T. (3:00)
• T.I.P.P. (4:30)
• Playing the Tape Forward (8:20)
• Urge Surfing (9:50)

This week's journal prompt (13:30) - Write down all the ideas you had while listening today that you want to try out.  Also, write down any tools you use now.  Which one’s work best, and why? Keep this list handy and add to it as you continue to work on yourself.

In this episode we look at challenging what's "normal" when it comes to alcohol in our life and work to push back on society's norms and expectations surrounding it on our alcohol-free or cutback journey. 

This week's journal prompt - Write down your thoughts on this once you listen to the episode. What do I want my normal to look like? Take away any excuses, reservations, etc. and just ask yourself "What do I want my normal to look like?" What's optimal for you? What's ideal? Frame it however you want, but think about it. Journal on it.
