When I was drinking I was the furthest thing from mentally strong and resilient. I went through most days feeling like I could barely cope with life. 

Between the 3 AM wakeups, hangovers, promising myself that I would not drink and then buying a bottle of wine during the witching hour, I felt defeated, tired, defensive and overwhelmed on a daily basis. 

The work of shifting away from that negative mindset to become mentally strong in sobriety is key to helping you create a life you love without alcohol. 

In order to help you do that I asked Amy Morin, therapist and bestselling author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do and 13 Things Mentally Strong Women Don’t Do, to share her research and work on how to become mentally strong in sobriety.

I describe myself as an ex-red wine girl and a recovering people-pleaser. And if you’re wondering how those two things are connected we’re going to dig into that because as you start to navigate sobriety, boundaries are going to be your very best friend.
Have you fallen into a people-pleasing pattern? 

Maybe you’re an overachiever who takes care of everything and everyone. 

Maybe you’re the happy, agreeable girl who spends a lot of time “reading the room” to anticipate the emotions of others so you can put them at ease. 

Maybe you’re uncomfortable with conflict and would rather stuff down negative emotions than share them with the people in your life. 

Maybe you’re afraid to say no because you want people to like you.

Maybe you’re terrified of disapproval so you’re anxious, self-critical and a perfectionist. 

Maybe you’re so busy meeting others’ expectations that you have trouble identifying your own wants, needs and feelings.

Maybe you’re externally motivated, anxiously seeking the validation of your parents, teachers, boss, spouse, children or friends. 


It even sounds exhausting. And those ingrained patterns of behavior can make you want to drink to check out from overwhelm, resentment, sadness, loneliness, stress, irritation, unhappiness or feeling unappreciated. 

I asked my good friend Hailey Magee, a certified coach who helps people around the world break the people-pleasing pattern and master the art of self-advocacy and author of the book, Stop People Pleasing and Find Your Power to help me unpack people-pleasing, boundaries and why they matter in sobriety.

Ep. 213: How To Stop People-Pleasing In Sobriety

Are mindfulness practices part of your sober toolbox? If not, they should be. Mindfulness in sobriety can help you manage cravings, reduce stress and anxiety, regulate your emotions, increase self awareness, support your overall well-being, mental health and prevent relapse. 

I know those are big promises, so let’s break down what mindfulness is, how you practice it and apply it to your sobriety. 

So if you’re ready to dive into all things mindfulness in sobriety I asked my friend Deb Masner, host of the Alcohol Tipping Point podcast, to dive into what mindfulness is and how to use it to support your recovery and alcohol-free life.

Ep. 212: Using Mindfulness Practices To Support Your Sobriety

If you’ve spent a bunch of years opening a bottle of wine to deal with stress and overwhelm, to celebrate or reward yourself for making it to the end of the week, it may feel awkward or hypocritical to talk with your kids about the risks of addiction to alcohol. 

But in a culture obsessed with booze, being able to help your kids understand the impact that alcohol and drugs can have on their lives and how to identify risks and behaviors that can lead to substance abuse and dependence is important - arguably even more important than all the hours we spend helping them with algebra homework and cheering them on at baseball and soccer games. 

I asked Jessica Lahey, author of The Addiction Inoculation, Raising Healthy Kids In A Culture Of Dependence to share what parents can do to help kids recognize their risk for alcohol addiction, spot signs of early abuse and navigate our boozy world without falling into the trap of substance use and dependence. 

It’s information I wish I had known when I started drinking and in looking at the risk factors for dependence it also gave me a new level of understanding of why alcohol was such a compelling drug in my life and compassion for myself for falling into the drinking cycle.

Ep. 211: Addiction Inoculation: How to minimize your kids’ risk of substance abuse and dependence

Have you ever stopped drinking but then struggled to stay sober after a bit? You’re not alone. 

The best way to stay sober is to focus on building a life you love without alcohol. It’s about not only putting down the wine glass, but also shifting the way you’ve been living your life so that you no longer want to numb yourself at the end of the day. 

If you’ve been worried about your drinking for a while, have tried to moderate and made (and broken) all the rules about when and how much to drink and finally have sober momentum, it is something to celebrate and protect. 

Whether you’ve been sober for a month, 4 months, 6 months or a year, there are steps you should take to stay on the alcohol-free path, build a life you love and guard against going back to drinking. 

First let’s break down why women might go back to drinking after a period of sobriety. 

The four most common reasons women drink after a period of sobriety are boredom, stress, loneliness and hormonal changes before their period or in perimenopause.

They’re also big reasons women have fallen into the drinking cycle in the first place.

Ep. 210: How To Stay Sober Once You’ve Stopped Drinking

Have you ever used alcohol as a coping mechanism to escape a dysfunctional relationship or unhealthy environment? 

You might be a victim of gaslighting if you’ve been told that you’re imagining things, too sensitive, dramatic, overreacting, forgetful, paranoid, confused, insecure or misinterpreting things. 

And if you’re drinking it’s easy for someone to say “you’re drunk, you don’t know what you’re talking about” or “you were drinking, you don’t remember what happened.” Without clear memories you’re more vulnerable to someone undermining your confidence, confusing and invalidating your experiences and emotions, establishing power and manipulating you.  

Gaslighting can make you doubt yourself and your memories. In a relationship you might notice that you’re frequently feeling confusion, doubt, guilt, isolation, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger or desperation. 

Alcohol can make it harder to cope with gaslighting in a number of ways.
