Can food help us recover from substance use disorder? The answer is YES, and our guest on today’s episode explains why. Nutrition coach Kiola Raines is passionate about helping people in recovery use food as a tool to boost their moods, lower anxiety, and nourish the parts of our brains that experience stress when we stop drinking. Hear her recommended list of “good mood food” and her suggestions for how to create a custom eating plan that supports your individual needs in sobriety. Kiola also brings us this week’s BIG SOBER ENERGY tip, and Adrienne talks us through a metta or “loving-kindness” meditation.

Friendships can be some of the most rewarding experiences of our lives, but when we're drinking and using things can get...complicated. In this episode, we look back on how we functioned (or didn't) within our friendships while we were drinking, what has changed since we quit, and some of the challenges we didn't expect as sober people connecting with other sober people (especially during a pandemic). This week's BIG SOBER ENERGY tip offers some suggestions for how to deal with friends who fall under the category of "energy vampire," and Erin talks us through the subtle art of achieving an effective plank. (Hint: planking with friends is safer and more fun!)

One upside of sobriety we did not expect was the validation of knowing our money no longer supports an industry that actively harms its customers and lies about the addictive nature of its product. In this episode, we uncover some of the gory details of how Big Alcohol functions, who it targets, and how it has fueled one of the most insidious myths about drinking and people with substance use disorder. We also take inspiration from author Craig Beck for our BIG SOBER ENERGY tip and Erin leads us in a delicious spinal stretch.

Today we hear about Erin’s long road with alcohol dependence and liver disease, from her first diagnosis of “fatty liver” to being told she might not survive the night in the hospital. It’s a tough story to hear, but one she’s 100 percent committed to sharing if it could help even one person avoid the hell she went through for so many years. 

In honor of this unusual episode, we decided to combine our movement and BIG SOBER ENERGY segments to bring you an extended interoception practice, something we can all use to help us connect more deeply with our bodies (including our livers!).

How has recovery influenced our integrity? In this episode, we look back at our former selves with compassion and talk about how we saw ourselves striving to live in integrity even when hiding and minimizing our drinking made it difficult. We explore the problematic narrative that having substance use disorder automatically means someone is not living in integrity, and the flip side of that narrative: that drinking is a “truth serum” (also fake news!). This week’s BIG SOBER ENERGY tip challenges us to get radically honest (it’s harder than you think!), and Erin leads us in a delicious stretch designed to keep our hips and legs in alignment. If you’re done with BS like we are, you’ll love this episode!
