It’s the last Friday of 2025, so let's look back...No matter where you are on your sobriety journey, the fact that you’re here tells me that in 2025 you showed up for yourself. Maybe you have some sobriety under your belt now, or maybe you began to drink with the blinders off. Wherever you are on this path, you deserve so much self-compassion and grace for all of how you grew and changed in your relationship with alcohol. Happy New Year! Community makes all the difference.

We are officially deep in the holiday season, and if you’re navigating early sobriety this can be a challenging time. So today, I’m here with some perspective on how you can protect your peace - even if it means saying no. I’ll share scripts for how you can say no in a way that respects your own needs, whether that be saying no to an event, to friends, or to a drink that someone is trying to place in your hand. You’ve got this. Keep going. Community makes all the difference.

Today’s real sober mom, Glory, credits her kids as the reason why she quit drinking. For her, the mom shame she experienced after a night of drinking became so overwhelming that she knew she couldn’t continue. Still, the challenge of quitting was unlike anything she’d ever experienced. She’d done hard things before - she’d quit smoking, she’d reached her fitness and nutrition goals - why was alcohol so hard to quit? Education and community turned out to be the key. Between quit lit, sober podcasts, and The Fresh 30 and Beyond 30 groups in the Sober Mom Life Cafe, Glory has now been sober for 86 days! Community makes all the difference.
