Tips for Success in Early Sobriety

May 31, 2016 By SoberJulie 1 Comment

I am an alcoholic who has been blessed to be in recovery for over 6 years and life is wonderful...not always easy but so much better than when I was drinking. In my early days of sobriety everything felt difficult...even just waking up, knowing that I was "different" and not knowing how I'd cope was often overwhelming. When someone decides to face their dependency on alcohol it's often a devastating time...where the person is like a fish out of water. The world seems far too big and ...

I've just returned from a holiday with my 2 daughters in Mexico which was glorious...but as you know when you've been away things pile up. I've been home for 2 days and have been running around trying to catch up again. It's bloody exhausting and my emotions have been running wild!

So many of us roll along in our lives, blessed to miss the stamp of despair that addiction marks upon people utterly oblivious to daily angst some people face. That's a beautiful thing!

Conversations About Addiction Will Break the Stigma

February 16, 2016 By SoberJulie 4 Comments

As someone who has been in recovery from alcoholism for 6 years now, I've had countless conversations about addiction and am often pausing to absorb another person's insight. In my first year of recovery from addiction I was taught to slow down my thoughts and realize that my own perspective isn't actually fact. Further to that, in the first year of sobriety I was actually like a toddler learning to walk again; my world had changed so drastically that I really didn't know my own self. My ...
