Hello my dear sweet listeners and welcome to Episode #86! At the time this is being recording, we're just 4 short days away from Christmas. While I have absolutely no clue where this year has gone, I am so looking forward to slowing down with the family this weekend and experiencing the magic of the season with my kiddos.If this is your first sober holiday, you're amazing!! I'll make sure to link some of my past episodes below for tips for staying alcohol-free over the holidays.

Pack a non-alcoholic drink, exercise that day, eat plenty of healthy snacks, and if necessary - have a friend or family member you can reach out to if you find yourself tempted. And just as a reminder, let me just say - you will never, ever, ever, ever, ever regret waking up Christmas Day rested, present, and WITHOUT a hangover.

I've talked about alcohol before on the show but it's been awhile and there's actually a story I've never told on this show yet that I wanted to share. Growing up, I always wanted to fit in with the crowd and I started drinking at an early age. I'd pretend to drink more but throw it out and act like I was more drunk than I was to fit in.

I want to share with you the reality of alcohol and I'm not saying don't drink ever again but I want you to know it's impact on your goals.    Time Stamps:   (0:40) My Alcohol Tolerance (3:40) My Realization Last Year (5:45) I Don't Drink vs I'm Not Drinking (8:25) Alcohol Disrupts Our Gut Microbiome (12:35) Alcohol and Increased Cortisol (15:18) Drinking Liquor with a Low Calorie Mixer (18:00) Glass of Water After Each Drink ---------------- Follow Me on Instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/laceeiskk/ ---------------- We have helped over 800 women transform their mind and body and become the best version of themselves.

My guest this week is Gregg Champion Gregg has been in recovery for over 20 years after nearly ruining his life with drugs and alcohol. These days he's a Recovery Coach and a highly valued member of the Recovery Community in California.  7 years ago he founded Start Up Recovery which is a transitional living facility built on his own values as well as lessons learned during his own recovery. In this episode You heard Gregg say that he was an alcoholic before he picked up his first drink – that's a very interesting statement which would apply to many drinkers with unresolved childhood trauma Greggs father was killed in a car crash when he was four which left him feeling angry and abandoned As he grew older he became addicted to anger, fantasy and attention That all changed when he took his first drink as a young teenager, a drink that soothed him and took the pain away At 15 years old he was crossing the border into Mexico to drink in bars and chat up girls – he just wanted to be a grown up Gregg chose to study at Arizona State University as it was known to be a party university Alcohol and Drugs were always present during his College years but it was normalised and as Gregg says there were always people “worse than me – doing more booze, more drugs” These comparisons are so dangerous – why do we always compare ourselves with people who are in worse trouble - when we should be comparing our ourselves to who we could be if we were leading our best life Even if alcohol doesn't destroy us it will always prevent us from reaching our potential Gregg topped off his University years by getting his first DUI on Graduation Night… That set the tone for the following 2 years when we was arrested 7 times! He went from overnight stays in prison to 2 night stays and finally the prospect of a 5 years sentence. Gregg got a job in broadcasting which involved shift work ending at 3am which meant he was mixing with other users after work He got into a cycle of selling drugs and then over-using and over-drinking to overcome the shame of being a drug dealer! He got busted at an airport carrying drugs – the judge told him that if he saw him again he would be activating his 5 year suspended sentence. Gregg partied on regardless but got busted a second time by an undercover cop at a party Back in a jail cell he heard a voice telling him to call his mother – which he did She told him to go to church so he went, he went to confession and told the priest everything He finally realised that Greggs Way was never going to work so he listened to the priest and went to an AA meeting It was his moment of truth – the time he had to decide between two paths He chose sobriety and his AA sponsor told him to take boxing lessons – he would need a punchbag for all the anger which would emerge in early sobriety! Gregg did 90 meetings in 90 days – as he said when we stop using there is a great gaping hole in our life that we need to fill with something We can fill it with 90 meetings and follow the 12 steps or We can join a sobriety community – go to tribesober.com and hit join our tribe if you'd like to check out our membership program As Gregg says we have to find our Sober Tribe He stayed sober for 3 years by using the first 3 steps but couldn't bring himself to open the Pandoras box of step 4 One day he listened to a speaker at the AA meeting and the things he heard really resonated with him The guy had been sexually abused at a young age and Gregg was able to finally admit to himself that this had happened to him as well Gregg began to work with this person who told him that he was blocked because although he had sobriety he hadn't got recovery It's so true that there is so much more to recovery than not drinking! I loved the expression that Gregg used:- “Not Drinking is the ticket to the Show, the Band hasn't even started playing yet!” So his new sponsor used a process called Uncover/Discover and Discard which you heard Gregg describing during the interview Applying this framework to all 19 things on Greggs “shame” list liberated him He now uses this process with his own clients and calls it "Unpacking the Backpack of Shame" In 2016 Greggs media career was stalling so he began to look at alternatives All he wanted to do was to be paid for being himself Sharing his story at an AA meeting one day he met a lady who told him he would be a great group facilitator This encouraged him to put together a talk and visiting rehabs to share tell his story He trained as a recovery coach and used his experience to put together a coaching curriculum 7 years ago his coaching business evolved into a Transitional Living Facility  They do 1.2.1 and group coaching to address that all important question “I'm Sober Now What?” He has a Wellness Director facilitating practices like breathwork, acupuncture and soundbaths Each client has a therapist  Of course Community is at the heart of everything and every day starts and ends with a meeting You can find out more about Gregg by going to his website which is startuprecovery.com and he is on social media  Instagram link is here - Twitter is here  More Info Subscription membership – you can join up HERE.

It's been a great start to 2023 on the pod, with a focus on the future, a focus on the past, and for this episode, Cee and Tiff talk about the present. For many folks, Dry January is an annual ritual to help kick off a new year and create better drinking habits, and fortunately for those who are participating (or those who just want some balance), there are a ton of amazing non-alcoholic options in Ontario and Canada as a whole. Bellwoods recently dropped three fantastic non-alcoholic beers, including NA versions of their classic Jelly King, so we put the NA version up against the OG to see how they fare. We also tasted some macro non-alcoholic beers from Budweiser and Heineken and put them up against Libra's Pilsner and Partake's Pale Ale. This was a great one - cheers!

New year new me! Have you heard this saying before, or is this something that you have used yourself? You may look at a new year as a great time to reset and start new goals or the goals you missed out on the previous year. Fitness and health are usually at the top of many people's minds, and the marketing for all the "get fit quick" routines know this. Just as quickly as you lose the weight, if it's not in a sustainable way, you will gain it back. Your metabolism plays a massive role in crushing your goals. In this episode, Kelsey discusses habits that you may be doing that possibly ruin your metabolism. She also gives tips that you can implement to help your metabolism. 3:00-Understanding Metabolism8:14- Not eating enough 12:00- Starting your day with non as nutritious food14:16- Not lifting weights 18:25- Not Drinking enough water19:22- High Stress20:25- Sleep Deprivation 23:15- How to increase your metabolism Don't forget to hit that Subscribe button and leave a review. As always, thanks for sharing your time with us and listening to this episode of Self Love Sit Downs.

When we leave the results of NOT DRINKING, up to chance, 99% of the time, it will win. The other 1% is you holding on for dear life.In today's episode I talk about how the result of not drinking is 100% in your control.When we give away our power to ANY presence outside our ourselves, our results will stay open-ended, up to chance.  And we will live a life of uncertainty.If you want reliable results, you need an unconditional commitment to yourself that no matter what happens or how inconvenienced you might be, it's worth knowing the power is in your hands.When you commit to making yourself your #1 priority, alcohol starts to take a back seat, naturally.

This week on Under The Radar: Booze-free beverages are having a moment — and no, we're not talking about your grandfather's O'Doul's or sugary sweet mocktails. A wide variety of non-alcoholic craft beers are popping up on liquor store shelves near you, while bar menus are expanding to make space for spirit-free cocktails. Alcohol sales did spike last year, as Americans drank more during the pandemic. But millennials are driving a boom in the non-alcoholic beverage business, and industry leaders say these drinks aren't just for the sober or sober-curious. But will the general public make a full culture shift to non-alcoholic drinks? Guests: Bill Shufelt is co-founder and CEO of Athletic Brewing Co., a Connecticut-based non-alcoholic brewery. Julia Bainbridge is the author of “Good Drinks: Alcohol-Free Recipes for When You're Not Drinking for Whatever Reason,” and a 2021 Food & Wine “Game Changer.” Pauline Idogho is founder and CEO of Mocktail Club, a Black-owned non-alcoholic cocktail company based in Washington D.C.

Juice Bar. And you'll hear a conversation with John Walker, head brewer at Athletic Brewing Company, one of the first nonalcoholic breweries in the country—and the only nonalcoholic brewery in Connecticut.

Participating in Dry January? We've got some recipes for you. Julia Bainbridge joins us to talk about her book, Good Drinks: Alcohol-Free Recipes for When You're Not Drinking for Whatever Reason. She takes a serious and stylish look at sophisticated nonalcoholic beverages, including a blackberry-infused cold brew with almond milk and coconut cream, and a bittersweet, herbal take on the Pimm’s Cup. Billows & Thieves MIKE DI TOTA — THE BONNIE, QUEENS, NEW YORK Former Bonnie bar director Mike Di Tota’s wife, Chelsea, doesn’t drink, and this was her favorite cocktail on his menu. When I met her at the bar to try it out, I was skeptical: iced coffee and grapefruit juice? In a word: YES. Mike tried all the other citrus fruits in combination with coffee, but the bitter-on-bitter of grapefruit juice just worked. Make sure you shake hard to get that creamy froth on top. COMMITMENT LEVEL • (of • • • •)SERVES 1 3 ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice 1⁄2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 ounce cold-brew concentrate, such as Grady’s 1⁄2 ounce Black Cardamom–Cinnamon Syrup (recipe follows) Small pinch of smoked sea salt Freshly grated nutmeg, for garnish Combine the juices, cold-brew concentrate, syrup, and salt in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, seal the shaker, and shake vigorously for 20 seconds, until the shaker is ice cold. Double-strain into a coupe and finish with a grating of fresh nutmeg. Black Cardamom–Cinnamon Syrup MAKES ABOUT 1 ¼ CUPS, ENOUGH FOR 20 DRINKS 2 cinnamon sticks, cracked 3 black cardamom pods, cracked 1⁄2 cup water 1 cup maple syrup In a small saucepan over medium heat, toast the cinnamon sticks, occasionally shaking the pan back and forth, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cardamom, water, and maple syrup and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Fine-strain and discard the solids. Store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Note Some additional and über scientific research I engaged in shows that leftover syrup can be used in your morning coffee.

For this final episode of the year, I talk about the process of commitment. The traditional New Years Resolution, comes with no parameters other than to "resolve" to change, usually the action. Something we think we should do to be better or healthier. We can not be successful in having a new , healthier relationship to alcohol by simply NOT DRINKING. To resolve to something is to learn a new way, to commit to a new process. This takes time. You have never become an expert at anything over night. You most certainly didn't develop a drinking habit over night. You must be compassionate with yourself and offer yourself time to learn a new way, seek new awarenesses, educate yourself with new tools and practice them until they become THE new way. There is no quick fix, but there is an easier way to UNLEAERN the habit of drinking. The first step, resolve to commit, not just quit. It takes loving yourself more, and deep trust in the process of surrender.

She found the answer was an emphatical: “Yes”.

Sober living is a best kept secret and opens the doors to so much happiness, intentionality, and grace in your life. But with so much stigma and preconceived assumptions, not drinking alcohol in our society is rare and questionable. It can be hard to tell people about a positive life change without well-meaning individuals drilling into the negative. Today Danielle and Karolina explore their best strategies for telling family, friends and even acquaintances that they’ve quit drinking and how to take the power back of such a life affirming lifestyle change. Having a complicated relationship with booze is normal. Quitting drinking and living your best life? That sets you apart as a rockstar, not a walking stigma. Tune in to get the tips you need to call out your sober life proudly.   Show notes: 7 Ways to Confidently Say I’m Not Drinking and the Perspective Shift You Need to Live Your Sober Life Proudly https://www.euphoricaf.com/blog-home/how-to-say-im-not-drinking MindBar - A San Diego Sober Event https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mindbar-an-alcohol-free-experience-tickets-63901665602 Nonalcoholic Drink Ideas https://www.euphoricaf.com/nonalcoholic-drinks Seedlip https://www.euphoricaf.com/nonalcoholic-drinks-blog/seedlip Curious Elixirs https://www.euphoricaf.com/nonalcoholic-drinks-blog/curious-elixirs Shrubs https://www.euphoricaf.com/nonalcoholic-drinks-blog/pear-ginger-shrubs San Diego Recovering Women’s Social Club Meetup www.meetup.com/sdrwsc SansBar http://thesansbar.com/ Daring Greatly https://www.amazon.com/Daring-Greatly-Courage-Vulnerable-Transforms-ebook/dp/B007P7HRS4

Bill called the show to share his struggles with his alcoholic father ...who's now had a fall and requires care. One of the things we do on the show is educate that alcoholism is a chronic disease - and where there's a chronic disease, there's a caregiver who needs help. "Not Drinking" doesn't make things better, it's a recovery process for every individual in that alcoholic's /addict's orbit. The closer you are, the more recovery is needed.  www.Al-Anon.org  _____________________________ Peter Rosenberger hosts a radio program for family caregivers broadcast weekly from Nashville, Tennessee, on more than 200 stations.
