I spent years trying to make rules about my drinking because I was terrified that sober life would be boring, lonely and difficult. I was wrong. I want to share with you the 25 things I learned after I quit drinking.    As I record this podcast today it is my five year soberversay. 5 years ago I stopped drinking and when I look at the number five, it seems impossibly large.   I remember when it was so hard for me to get past day five. 30 days alcohol-free seemed so big. 100 days sober was an accomplishment that I was bursting with pride and over a year of sobriety was more than I thought I would ever achieve.   If you’re just starting out, are sober curious or have five months alcohol-free or two years on this path, here’s a look ahead to my experience and takeaways from the decision to quit drinking and live a life without alcohol.  Here are the 25 things that helped me and surprised me.  The things I didn’t know when I started out and the lessons I’m continuing to learn now.  If you're just starting out, are sober curious or have five months alcohol-free or two years on this path, here's a look ahead to my experience and takeaways from the decision to quit drinking and live a life without alcohol.    Resources & Links Mentioned  Episode 34: Quit Drinking With Identity Based Habits, Because Willpower Doesn’t Work Episode 35: Break Your Habit of Drinking in Four Steps - Change Your Cue, Craving, Response + Reward Cycle Episode 36: The Habits Tipping Point - When Choosing Not To Drink Becomes Easy and Simply Part Of Who You Are Episode 37: How To Manifest The Shit Out Of Life   Support, Resources and Tools To Help You Go Alcohol-Free Drink Less + Live More today with The Sobriety Starter Kit.
