Sober4aQuarter

Cravings will come in waves early on in your Sober4aQuarter journey.  Recognizing that urge is the key.   Stop, give it time.  This is the key to overcoming any bad habit.  The benefits are too important to quit.   You are stronger than you think.  Members are ready to welcome you so sign up for the program today!

Think you can't do it?  That's GREAT!  Why do I say that in the opening of each podcast?  Because when YOU DO what seems IMPOSSIBLE...you will be catapulted into another level of personal growth.  Resistance comes from your ego..telling you what your limits are.  It's time to listen to that inner-buddy, that is politely asking you to try something different.  What have you got to lose?

This is not a religious podcast.  But I finally understand a prayer that I recited 1,000 times.  We're looking for a natural way to deal with life, and detaching from self will bring clarity, focus and above all, inner peace.  

Tips on meditation today!  Ending our drinking habit can be the beginning  of a new habit of daily meditation.  Don't worry about the result, just meditate for the fun of it.  The result will take care of itself!  

Once we let go of our ego, and all the things we identify with, we will be able to turn problems into opportunities.    

Meditation helped me to tap into a spiritual birth.  Every day I weaken my ego which has been running my adult life.   It hasn't served me well.  Now I know that I am nothing and everything.Listen to hear some meditation techniques to quiet your mind and plug into your divine!

Riding a big wave...like a tsunami is a dream for some and a terror for others.  With balanceyou can ride out whatever comes your way.   Becoming conscious of our compulsive behaviorwill bring that balance and on it we can build anything!

Where you are right now is exactly where you are meant to be.  It's no accident you stumbled on this podcast.  I had to learn to love who I was, with all my flaws and problems.  Accept it, own it.  This "base camp" is the foundation from which our journey to grow begins!  Take the journey with us TODAY at Sober4aQuarter.com

Let my people go!  Ten Commandments airs this weekend, and it reminds us how we actwhen we aren't in control of our own freedom.   Prisoners have a structured life forced upon them.  They eat right and have structure.  But no freedom.  We're on the opposite side.  We have SO much freedom we live a very unstructured life and it can get out of hand.  Let's be CONSCIOUS of this and strive to be a little better each day!  Have a MEGA day..Maximum Effort and GREAT attitude!

Lotto fever! But we can win the lotto of our mind. When we start to groove a new habit, we change the DEFAULT position for how we look at ALL aspects of our lives. It starts with a decision, and the benefits become evident sooner rather than later! Sign up today at Sober4aQuarter.com

Energy, time, better sleep, and a HUGE boost in self-confidence. I'll take the Pain of Discipline thank you! Go get 'em!

Sometimes we just need a life-line. An old lady asked me for directions to the funeral home. I didn't give them to her. She had enough on her plate, so I told her to follow me. I'll do the same thing for you when you sign up for the Sober4aquarter program. I'll show you the way to get to a wonderful destination! Not to a funeral parlor! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! ~ Jim

Maybe it's cause I'm binging on Cobra Kai ..and though sensei Kreese is a jerk, he was on to something with our relationship with fear. It's time to QUARANTINE our fear! I channel my inner sensei to remind you that fear and faith are similar, yet bring about a completely different mindset.

Holidays are here and they keep re-running Willy Wonka. It's a perfect analogy for how short-sighted we are when we think about what is possible. Winning the chocolate was just the BEGINNING. S4aQ will bring MUCH more than a reset to your alcohol use. You can have the golden ticket, sign up today!

8% success rate for New Year's Resolutions. It's time to rethink the resolution. Make it an INTENSE 90 days! Goals need to be specific and we have to break it up into smaller chunks that lead to RESULTS that we FEED off of moving forward. Let's do this! ~ Jim

This is my personal guided meditation technique. For those who can't "clear their minds"..it will give you something to visualize. It's a GREAT way to raise your vibration and rid yourself of all the toxic thoughts that are holding you captive. Break free and listen to it often..it's my gift to YOU! Peace!

Whatever you want is available to you. It's the season of BELIEVE. Whatever you want you have to declare it. Repeat it, and be SPECIFIC! Start to BECOME the change you want to make. Little steps are important. Things don't change quickly, so take pleasure in the small victories and you will see them gain momentum! Go get 'em! ~Jim

If we tell ourselves something long enough, often enough..it will become our new reality. This can work both ways, in a positive or negative way. This is why it is SO important to fill our minds with POSITIVE thoughts. It puts us in a positive vibration which ATTRACTS other positives into our lives. Benefits to 90 days sober are...sobering! Come and join us!

Do you do a good impersonation of a celebrity? I do a great Adam Sandler! But are we doing a BAD impersonation of the person we want to be? We forgot that we are meant for greatness. We fall prey to the low standards we've fallen into over time. Well there is still time to wake-up and make a small change to start living the lives we know we're capable of achieving!

Mike sent in a question about "slipping up" or "caving". I don't dwell on this because I don't want to give it energy. But I'm not naive to it either. If we know WHY we crave, it'll help us to avoid caving. It's the reason why I was able to go 90 days without a drop. It's a process, and in that process you might stumble. But as long as you LEARN from it, it wasn't in vain. Today we discuss Paradigms, the subconscious, where our habits live. Let's do this!

Be proactive, not reactive! Today we share some stats about drinking habits that have been increasing across the board. Mommy wine time is becoming increasingly NORMAL. It's NOT normal, and this is the wake up call we all need to hear if we're going to improve our lives. Do it for YOURSELF, but see the benefits fan out like a pebble in a pond! I get excited when someone "dings" to sign up for the program. I get to go through this AMAZING awakening all over again. I'm on Day 51 and it feels fantastic! Thanks for listening. Jim

Amazing how so much worry is unnecessary! I'll break down the percentages that might surprise you! When I went through my depression, I stumbled upon the same tip for alleviating the symptoms...avoid alcohol. I said, "I'll do the others, but I can't do that one." It wasn't until I surrendered to sobriety that I woke up to my inner kid! Carefree, risk-taker, living to the fullest. It was all a direct byproduct of doing something DIFFERENT. Can't wait to see you on the Accountability Board..sign up today at sober4aquarter.com

When I went 90 days sober, it was the first time I did that since I was a teen. For years I was asleep! This awakening put me on a mission to help others recognize how WONDERFUL this journey could be! Depression, hum-drum same old same old is going bye bye when you do something COMPLETELY different! Contact me for ZOOM meetings with your group or workforce! It's the best gift you can give them! Let's wake up!!!

One action could bring a windfall of positivity to our lives! I took Francis to the bank when this little old lady had some papers in a brown paper bag. Yep, you guessed it, she was in the money honey!! Who knows what you can do when you gain momentum by taking one small action. I'm so EXCITED to have this program and this podcast. My depression now has PURPOSE! My depression was the reason you're listening to this podcast right now..and it is changing lives! One action, massive results.

If you're saying, "this nearly everyday drinking isn't cutting it anymore. I want to change." Well, you're ready for the Sober4aQuarter commitment. And you are NOT alone in feeling this way. Hardly! If I can do it...anyone can do it! I decided to focus my attention on the BENEFITS and not the deprivation. Thanks for sharing this with those who need a boost!

Yep, I scratched this off the old bucket list! It wasn't like Top Gun though! And it's a great analogy to remind you that what we see on social media isn't always the truth. If you declare day 1 and decide to share it with the world, watch out for enemy bogies! They're trying to steal your energy and shoot you down. It says more about THEM than you! Join us, a community of "friendlies" who will go into this incredible mission with you! I got your 6..Let's do this!

Airlines tell us to put our mask on FIRST, then put it on your kids. I don't know if mom's do this! To all my magnificent mommies, do Sober for you FIRST. Focus on the benefits, NOT the deprivation..it will be easier! Guys, do it with your mommy to be to celebrate your new journey! But YOU have to want it! If you do, then you are READY for the Sober4aQuarter program! Let's do this!

Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. It's a type of depression that comes with longer nights, limited sunshine and cold weather. Get out in front of it! Sign up for the program to take alcohol out to stay motivated! Also, keep moving! Exercise is a natural drug and it's importance in fending off SAD can't be over-exaggerated! I'm on Day 40, will today be your day 1? You'll never be the same again..do it with me!

The biggest investment you can make is in yourself. Covid got ya in a rut? Now is the time to take back control of your drinking habits and do a 90-day purge! Unplug from the FALSE narrative that alcohol is the answer to your anxiety and depression. See your energy, happiness and motivation go through the roof! Declare Day 1 TODAY....

Make TODAY Day 1. There is no perfect time to do anything. Maybe you are thinking, "sober for the holidays? There are so many drinking situations." What you need to understand is you will be a different person by the time we get to Thanksgiving! Deep November you will look at drinking completely different than you do today. It's what was most shocking to me when I went Sober4aQuarter. When others are thinking about their New Year's Resolution, you'll already be 2 months into a "life-changing" experience. Let's do THIS!!!!

You might be saying, "yea, 90 days is easy for this guy. I got problems!" We all do. I have some SERIOUS stress in my life right now. But one thing that I don't have? Hangovers with those same problems staring me in the face. I'll never give you an excuse to give in and give up. The benefits are TOO powerful to stop after a few days. We're going 90..and I'll help you see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I was suffering in silence. Had someone asked me how I REALLY was doing, I might've broke down. It's time to get control of our depression, anxiety, and fear. We can do it by lifting our confidence and self-esteem. Doing the "impossible" of going 90 days sober brings about these benefits and so much more. Why 90 days? 30 is too short. You'll just start to see the benefits in 30 days. Why stop there? Month 2 and 3 we harness all of this mojo and put it into a passion project! So I want to know, today, how are you? No REALLY, HOW ARE YOU??

Others are zigging while you are zagging. If you are binging on the podcast, you are VERY unique. You are noticing that alcohol isn't helping with your problems. That is a FUNDAMENTAL first step in changing your lifestyle! MANY will not come to this realization. They will continue to be the walking dead! I love Post-It notes. It's hokey, but I put them up to remind myself that I'm a beast! It is a way of blocking negative thoughts from flooding your mind, especially at the beginning of your day. Let's do this! Make today Day 1!!
