They talk about what it was like growing up as a child of an alcoholic, marrying an alcoholic, and how she eventually landed in the rooms of Al-Anon. After working the 12 steps, Jill realized that she too needed to examine her own drinking and quit for good in 2017.

This week on the podcast, Tammi and Sondra are excited to welcome a very special guest, Tammi’s sister, Traci Salas. Even as they are on separate coasts, Tammi and Traci have always been close and in one of their daily phone catch-ups, Tammi challenged her little sister to give up drinking for thirty days. Well, that was a year ago this week and Traci is still alcohol-free. They talk about the challenges Traci had with being a mom and then later, an M.S. diagnosis, but during this year of sobriety, she’s discovered new experiences, like yoga and meditation and rediscovered beloved experiences of her youth, live music. It’s a double-shot of Salas love that you will not want to miss!

This week Traci shares three items from her Unruffled Toolbox: (1) Music; (2) Yoga + Meditation; and (3) The Hudson River.

This week’s podcast is all about tools! A question was posted by a listener in The Unruffled Podcast secret Facebook group sourcing ideas for FREE sober treats that provided instant gratification but didn’t indulge consumer culture. We all know that a mani/pedi or a massage feels great, but there are so many treats, tools and indulgences that are available to all. Tammi and Sondra list out all of the listener suggestions and add their own personal riffs. Get a pen and some paper, you’re going to want to take notes. Be sure to listen to this one all the way to the end, as the ladies make an announcement about the next Unruffled meetup that you won’t want to miss!
