Summary

On my recent podcast with Gabby Bernstein (who is proudly and publicly sober and has been for years) I shared that I, too, am sober. For over 5 years. Since then, I have been receiving tons of emails asking me to dedicate a podcast to the topic, and today I decided to do so. I am further inspired to share, as I am concerned that this time of quarantine may leave more and more people susceptible to the allure of drowning their feelings and fears in substances, and I want to bring connection to this potential reality. I hope that my story can invite many of you to feel less alone. We do not have to live in the grips of alcohol, or any other substance, should we awaken to our choice not to. Also today I announce my LIVE REAL TIME HEAL EXPERIENCE ON INSTAGRAM with Liz Melani of @thepracticeco. On May 19th at 5:30pm EDT I will go LIVE on @thepracticeco profile on Instagram and do a totally unscripted therapy session with Liz about her story and her chronic pain. Similar to all the REAL TIME HEALS, this will be totally raw and fresh, but in addition it will be LIVE. Come join us. Follow me on instagram @nicolesachslcsw and The Practice Co @thepracticeco and experience this first ever moment. I think it will help so many, and Liz is bravely willing to show up and include you all. I'm very excited! Love and light to you, wherever this may find you. XOOX n.

0:00.0	Hello beautiful people. How are you this morning? Happy podcast day if you're listening to
0:16.4	me on Friday, the day that this podcast drops. This is Nicole Sacks and you've reached my
0:22.4	podcast, the Care for Chronic Pain. I hope today is bringing you a little bit of peace and joy,
0:29.6	as for me, so much depends on the weather. Who said that? Was that Pearl Jam? I probably just
0:36.5	screwed that up. Some band from my childhood said so much depends on the weather and I think it
0:41.3	wasn't Pearl Jam. But anyway, it's so true. You know, today is like a really spring-like day here on
0:49.0	the East Coast. The mid-Atlantic region should we say of the United States. And I'm just looking at
0:56.9	my window at this beautiful breezy day knowing that I can walk around outside and brings me a little
1:03.9	bit of joy, a little bit of peace. So I hope that you're finding that little piece of peace for
1:09.2	yourself today. Yeah, so here we are. I am about eight weeks into quarantine where I live in the state
1:18.8	of Delaware. I'm kind of used to it. Sort of, my pendulum swings anywhere from at total peace and
1:27.9	inspired and grateful and excited about the opportunities that it's given me and total despair.
1:35.2	Like, I can't live with this for one more second. And usually I fall somewhere in between. But,
1:41.5	you know, we got to make meaning out of what we've got. And right now, this is what we've got. The
1:47.5	world is opening up a bit as of today, which is May 15th. So if anyone is listening to this at
1:55.7	another time in life, May 15th, 2020 was a really odd, flippant time because we've been quarantined
2:03.6	for a couple months. But now the country is reopening and there's really no way to see how it's going
2:09.8	to go yet. For all I know, it will reopen and then reclose. But we'll see. Not projecting here,
2:17.0	just riffing on whatever life is at the moment. So, um, so I hope this finds you well. And I hope
2:24.1	you're doing okay with all this uncertainty and all this craziness. Um, for me, I have embraced,
2:30.7	so at the, at the best moment of my quarantine mind, I have embraced the concept of virtual learning,
2:38.4	which I truly think I never would have. And when I say never, who the hell knows what never is,
