I Kissed Alcohol Goodbye: Let’s Break Up With Booze Together!

Consistent kindness to ourselves.

Let's walk with confidence in ourselves, knowing that we have each others' backs.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Some positive self-talk can be more positive than others.

Memorial Day isn't happy for everyone. Regardless of our situations, let's honor our fallen by staying sober together!

Grounding with bare feet seems to help.

Not beating myself up. Just won't.

No one completes me except me.

Let's be kind to ourselves no matter what we're feeling, because feelings are not facts.

Poopy mood, poopy audio, it's all good. Let's keep not drinking and let's do it together.

Happy Mothers Day, sober mamas! Keep it up ladies. :-)

Yes, we are good people. So let's start saying it.

A quiet minute to breathe and listen to the breeze.

Vigilance, not paranoia. Keep at it.

This can be really hard, but fight back frustration with gratitude.

Don't give up — just keep going.

A quick pep talk. #lfg

I choose, but I don't do it alone.

Make a list, and say it out loud.

Small gains add up. Keep at it, fam.

Your mental health matters most.

Helping our future selves today.

A quick message for my family who are having horrible cravings.

Spruce and I share some thoughts while on break at Amazon. :-)

Trying a new self-explanatory format. Goal is daily but we'll just take it one day at a time. :-) Hope these minutes will encourage you!
