Sober Chick Life

Counting your alcohol-free days can be a great way to stay accountable and motivated to stay sober. It can also be a great way to track your progress and remind yourself how far you have come.

On the flip side, counting days can become a source of obsession and pressure, leading to feelings of guilt and shame if you slip up. The critical thing to remember is that it’s your decision to count days or not – and that your choice should be based on what’s best for you.

Cravings are a normal part of recovery; they are harmless and don’t have to be something you fear. Cravings are just thoughts or impulses that we interpret as physical urges.

It’s important to remember that cravings are just thoughts, and the power to overcome them lies in how we interpret them. If we recognize cravings as thoughts, we can learn to manage them more effectively.

In this episode, we look into the various strategies to help manage them, such as distraction techniques, questioning, deep breathing, and mindfulness, to name a few!

Coaches Lily and Zoë hope that opening our eyes to what really is will help you navigate this incredible journey to freedom from alcohol easier. Knowledge is power and you'll get loads of both in this episode.

We love hearing from you!  [email protected]

In this inspiring episode, we share a better approach to changing unwanted behaviour.  We're turning our back on the old way of doing things, which not only doesn't work, it is miserable.  This old way requires us to immediately stop that behaviour with zero preparation, backing knowledge, community or support.  Nope!  Not sustainable and downright damaging to our beautiful minds.  So, how about we look at change differently and start with 'Knowledge' before action?  Yes!  we hear you say, 'What are you talking about, Coach Lily and Coach Zoë, you crazy gals?!' Our response?  'Just trust us - this literally works.'
