Summary
Today I’ll walk you through chapter 4 of my book The Sober Shift where we’ll step back from romanticizing alcohol so that we can take a clear look at the real role that drinking plays in your life. I call this facing ‘the mold in the basement’. In order to be honest about alcohol, we have to face our stories about alcohol that we’ve avoided facing for so long.
This part is challenging, but you can do this, and community can make all the difference. Join The Sober Mom Life Cafe for 6+ Peer Support meetings each week and a private Facebook group to connect with sober and sober-curious women.
