Summary

What should you expect to feel and do and experience in your first year of sobriety?  You’ve probably heard that the first 30 days sober are the absolute hardest and that hitting the one year milestone is big and important, but what comes in between?  Your first year sober can be a complex, emotional rollercoaster. You'll feel immense pride and joy and also uncertainty and vulnerability. It’s beautiful and hard, tender and transformative.  And it can be really helpful to know what to expect in your first year, from people who have been there before you.  I asked my friend Lori Massicot, midlife sobriety coach and host of the To 50 And Beyond Podcast, to join me in talking about our own experiences and memories of our first year of sobriety. We dive into what we thought, felt and did between the last day we drank, the big 30, 60 and 90-day sober milestones, how we felt at 6 months alcohol-free and what we did to celebrate hitting one year of sobriety and our first “soberversary” (yes…that’s a thing!) 3 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.  My proven, step-by-step sober coaching program will teach you exactly how to stop drinking — and how to make it the best decision of your life.

of wine a night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue holding my life together,

helping me cope with my kids, my stressful job, and my busy life. I didn't realize that my love

affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to
