The question is “how do you make it through your first sober concert?”   The first of eight fantastic tips include giving yourself a little alcohol-free time before going to a concert. Once you've got some time under your belt, and the cravings are in check, then you can hit the green light on concerts.  Regardless of how many days you have, if you are feeling squirrely the dray of the concert then sit it out.  Sobriety is the priority.   Paul then shares several tips to include:   -       Always have a non-alcoholic beverage in hand. -       Do not volunteer to be the DD. -       Make sure everyone you are attending with knows your intentions.   Some of the best parts about sober concerts? You will remember it. You will save money. You won't get a DUI on the drive home.   Better Help:  www.betterhelp.com/elevator - 10% off your first month. #sponsored   [10:14]: Paul introduces Santino:   Santino is a repeat guest and has maintained his sobriety since his last appearance on episode 397 where he was on day 43.   Santino is married and has one son. For fun, he loves going outside in nature to go hiking and go to the beach, but he also says that there is fun in everything since quitting drinking.   Santino had his first drink as a young teen. His mom was a single parent for a while, and he feels that he may have started drinking because the absence of his father bothered him. He learned that alcohol became a friend to him, and he feels like he used it for connection with his father and in contrast, to disconnect from her mother.   Santino joined the Air Force out of high school and found alcohol to be part of the culture. Between his early 20s and his early 30s he started deliberately planning his drinking to include before going out and drinking alone. Santino says he used a lot of rationalization that he wasn't as bad as other people when it came to how he drank. He often pushed off having to think about it.   There wasn't much hiding it from his spouse initially because they both drank. His hiding became more intentional as time went on, specifically after his son was born and during the pandemic. He found himself being sneakier about it. Santino started struggling with mood swings and being less communicative and didn't want to address the fact that he needed help to quit drinking. He started to realize that this was going to destroy his family and he needed to rip the band aid off and address it. Once he addressed it with his wife, he felt freedom but was also worried about the process.   In the early days of his recovery, Santino and his wife began counseling to work on rebuilding their relationship. Santino also found that he started to feel healthier in general, was getting better sleep and did not miss the hangovers at all. Santino has been able to save money which assisted him with paying off some credit card debt he incurred while drinking.  As a parent, he feels more centered and present with his son. He attends AA frequently, listens to podcasts, and surrounds himself with others in recovery.   Santino's parting piece of guidance: give yourself grace in all the moments that you feel that you don't even deserve it.   Instagram - We regularly feature content here – often with goats!

Today Amanda is here to share her story as she nears 10 months of sobriety!  Amanda's father quit drinking and joined AA when she was ten, and from then on alcohol became a strict ‘no' in her household… but no one would tell her why. This inability to talk to her parents about emotions and big things led Amanda to develop a secret life in high school - one of sneaking around, drinking, and keeping it all to herself.  As life unfolded and Amanda became a parent, she found comfort in being a ‘party mom' while moving regularly for work. This constant uprooting made her rely on alcohol more and more, both as a means of connection and as a way to mask her sadness.  The years of constant partying took their toll, until one night it became too much. Amanda woke up the next day and just ‘stopped'. She was afraid and had no idea how to do it, but she was committed to try. Finding the Sober Mom community has made all the difference!  Amanda wants you to know that there is no shame in sobriety, no matter what anyone says!  Announcing the Sober Mom Life Cafe!

I just wrapped up celebrating Pride 2023 & it was hands down my best Pride yet! I asked myself why & it hit me... I did the entire weekend SOBER!In this episode, I break down how my relationship with alcohol has severely changed within the last year & how I have been slowly weening myself away.  There are a lot of reasons as to why I believe we drink but it got to a point where my anxiety/depression episodes were spiraling out of control due to hangovers & alcohol bringing them forth. I now live a sober life & LOVE IT.  I share the positive effects I have personally experienced since I stopped drinking both physically/mentally. I also share my fun tricks that I do while I'm out to still enjoy myself, feel involved in the party & help with my social anxiety. This episode isn't to shame anyone for drinking or make anyone feel less than.  I am sharing this episode to empower others who may be sober curious & have been wanting to take the plunge. I am a prime example that being sober is possible, fun & incredibly sexy too!xoxoTwigzFollow me on Instagram: @twiiggzzzFollow me on TikTok: @twiiigggzzz

Dan chats with personal trainer Adam 'Lubbs' Lubbock about taking a stand against the fitness industry's silence on alcohol. Adam shares why he feels compelled to speak out, even if it means losing clients and followers. He provides insight into sobriety, discipline and the connections between mental and physical health. Listen as Adam inspires people in the fitness realm and beyond to have the courage to address society's unhealthy relationship with alcohol and prioritise true well-being, from physical health to mental strength. KEY TAKEAWAYS The fitness industry stays silent on alcohol to retain popularity and relatability, despite the harm this causes. True health/fitness ambassadors must speak out. Sobriety requires internal discipline fuelled by self-respect. It translates to success in other areas like fitness. Helping people grapple with sobriety issues has an immeasurable positive impact. Silence perpetuates harm. Alcohol numbs pain rather than addressing root causes. Sobriety brings clarity to elevate health and happiness. The fitness industry should promote sobriety as foundational to well-being, not enable unhealthy drinking habits. BEST MOMENTS  "I have such a moral obligation and responsibility to the world to just do what I can to even up a little bit because, you know, we don't have too many things on our job description list as a personal trainer." "How you do anything is how you do everything right? I promise I didn't read a book of quotes on the way." "When you stop drinking, one of the things I noticed quite quickly was I gained an almost obnoxious level of self-respect." "Discipline is hard but it's fucking way easier than being ill-disciplined. That's really hard." "If your discipline goes from going, 'Oh, I'll have a few drinks,' then that discipline is gone to eating, sniffing a bag of gear, cheating, fucking whatever."

I started using drugs to self-medicate to shut my brain down to stop thinking and then spiral turned and turned and turned until I was like a wrecking ball everywhere I went every penny I had went on drugs, my whole life revolved around drugs I tried recovery a couple of times and kept relapsing then I lost my due to suicide, and it was like something clicked in my head that I need to step up to the plate and be the man that my father wanted me to be, and from then on, I've been so as of today's date I am 583 days sober haven't touched any drugs or alcohol or any other mind-influencing substance since then.”Sobriety Podcast #wedorecover # recoveroutloud #addicitonrecovery #addiction #recoverytok #sobriety #sober #sobertiktok #sobertok #soberlife #sobercurious #soberliving: https://www.instagram.com/dappersinstagram/This show was brought to you by Progressive Media

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between. Today we go back to celebrate Pittsburgh's first son - Michael Keaton. Our B-Sides today are: Clean and Sober, The Dream Team, One Good Cop, and My Life. Our guest is official five-timer Cory Everett, creator of Cinephile: A Card Game.  We dive deep into analyzing how the actor took boring lead roles and made them sing. We marvel at the surprisingly small filmography of model-turned-movie star Rene Russo. We lament the early-90s politics of One Good Cop and we celebrate the fact that The Dream Team has basically aged okay! Which is a near-miracle. Finally, Cory and I describe the difficulty of even finishing watching My Life as fathers with young kids. Perhaps more importantly, does My Life has a premise that is far more famous than the movie itself? Yes! What are other movies like that? Additionally, we mention how 1990 mega-hit is great actually despite its cultural ridicule, and Tony Goldwyn (Ghost co-star) is underrated, and Keaton has a new directorial effort that just premiered at TIFF. There's also his early history as a funny stand-up comedian, his amazing voice work in Porco Rosso, and every moment in the comedy The Other Guys.

“Let's grab a drink” is a pretty standard invitation for a first date and in my drinking days almost every date with my husband involved a bottle of wine. So when you stop drinking it's normal to wonder how sober sex, dating and relationships are going to work without alcohol as a social lubricant.  The good news is that there are a lot of benefits to dry dating.  When you take alcohol out of the equation you can be more present, evaluate if the person you're with is a good match or if there are red flags you missed when you were drinking, connect with your partner more deeply, remember everything clearly and even have more satisfying sex sober. 3 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.  My proven, step-by-step sober coaching program will teach you exactly how to stop drinking — and how to make it the best decision of your life.

After graduation, he continued his life education by traveling extensively, visiting over twenty-five countries worldwide.After he graduated from the Rabbinical College of America Kollel in 1991, he and his wife Karen were appointed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe to represent Chabad in Metro West New Jersey, where he became a Pastoral Counsellor for Jewish addicts in recovery.During this time, he authored a course on Addiction and Spirituality, which he presented in numerous cities throughout the U.S.In 2007, Rabbi Bresinger and Karen, who holds a Master's in Social Work from Rutgers University, returned to Montreal to become the Director and Clinical Director, respectively, of Chabad Lifeline, a nonprofit, non-sectarian addiction counselling centre.Under their leadership, the centre has grown significantly, with a staff of 20 working tirelessly to treat everyone touched by the pain of addiction, regardless of their background, religion, or financial situation.

The Big Book says that an alcoholic who can't be around alcohol without wanting to drink "still has an alcoholic mind" because there is something wrong with their spiritual status. In this episode, I share some of my experiences concerning this. Check out my books.Follow me on Instagram.Other fun stuff.

My special guest this week is Casey Arrillaga! He is a clinical social worker and chemical dependency counselor who has lived with and around addiction for all his life. In his book “Realistic Hope: The Family Survival Guide for Facing Alcoholism and Other Addictions” and his podcast “Addiction and the Family”, he shares the knowledge gained from conducting hundreds of family workshops and helping thousands of family members, and also weaves in his own narrative of recovery both as an individual and a family member. In his newest book, Casey and illustrator Skye Hilton worked together to help kids start to find hope and healing by giving them a voice and encouraging them to use it in facing the difficult subject of a parent's addiction. The message of the book, seen through a child's eyes, is based on years of working with family members of all ages, as well as his personal experience of wishing as a child that his own father would find sobriety. This is what we talk about on this episode. Not only is Casey's new book important, but his ability to communicate on many different levels. You will enjoy hearing his perspectives in this episode and on his Podcast - Addiction and the Family. Connect with Casey at: www.CaseyAuthor.com

On this 200th episode of the Connected Leadership Podcast, and as we celebrate its third year, Andy Lopata welcomes celebrated guest Janey Lee Grace. Janey is an Amazon No. 1 best-selling author and speaker, and she was co-presenter on the UK's biggest radio show, BBC Radio 2's Steve Wright in the Afternoon, for 24 years. Formerly, she was a backing singer with Wham!, Kim Wilde and Boy George, and had their own number 8 chart hit as Cola Boy with 7 Ways to Love. Janey has written five books on holistic living, including the number one Amazon best seller ‘Imperfectly Natural Woman', and her latest book ‘Happy Healthy Sober': Ditch the booze and take control of your life, which encourages everyone to look again at their relationship with alcohol. Janey has now dedicated her life to addressing "the alcoholic elephant in the room," advocating for an alcohol-free lifestyle. She recognises alcohol as a common factor in many social connections and explores the challenges of building relationships without the 'glue' of drinks. A major prompt for her came when she realised how her lifestyle of drinking roughly a bottle of wine a night sat quite at odds with her long-established career as a healthier-living advocate. Janey, who now hosts the popular Alcohol Free Life podcast, was struck by how readily accepted and indeed normalised the central place of alcohol had become within society. Her mission now is to highlight that every industry, not just entertainment, has a significant problem with heavy drinking. It's this prevalence and normalisation of alcohol in our society that Janey seeks to challenge by advocating for equal acceptance of the choice to not consume alcohol. Many professionals find alcohol to be a uniting component in establishing connections. Andy and Janey discuss how people can build relationships without depending on the 'glue' represented by alcohol. Siding with inclusivity and equal opportunities for all, Andy extends this conversation to those incompatible with traditional alcohol-based socialising. Janey emphasises that organisations have a pressing responsibility to eradicate the assumption that everyone drinks and combat the societal pressure to drink. She also proposes an alternative: Keep the ritual, change the ingredients,' keeping the culture intact while replacing unhealthy habits with healthier ones. The episode addresses the role of connection and community in aiding those trying to limit or stop their alcohol consumption. Janey underscores the immeasurable support she received from others in the same situation or those who've successfully pulled themselves out of it. This podcast sheds light on the shift organisations need to start making towards healthier, more inclusive, and more sustainable ways of connecting and conducting business. Whether you're engaged in social drinking or what Janey calls "grey area drinking," this episode is a valuable listen. It's an exploration of our relationship with alcohol and how it interacts with our efforts to connect and build relationships. Connect with Andy Lopata Website Connect with Janey Lee Grace Website

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using marijuana. There are no dues or fees for membership. We are self-supporting through our own contributions. MA is not affiliated with any religious or secular institution or organization and has no opinion on any outside controversies or causes. Our primary purpose is to stay free of marijuana and to help the marijuana addict who still suffers achieve the same freedom. We can do this by practicing our suggested Twelve Steps of recovery and by being guided as a group by our Twelve Traditions. Marijuana Anonymous uses the basic 12 Steps of Recovery founded by Alcoholics Anonymous, because it has been proven that the 12 Step Recovery program works! Who is a Marijuana Addict? We who are marijuana addicts know the answer to this question. Marijuana controls our lives! We lose interest in all else; our dreams go up in smoke. Ours is a progressive illness often leading us to addictions to other drugs, including alcohol. Our lives, our thinking, and our desires center around marijuana—scoring it, dealing it, and finding ways to stay high." ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Why Marijuana Anonymous?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Stop Smoking Weed ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Quit Smoking Pot ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cannabis/THC Addiction ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For a copy of our basic text and 12 Step Workbook: Life with Hope

It seems whenever you turn on the TV there's someone swilling a pint, necking a shot, sipping a glass of red or swishing ice in a tumbler of whisky. It's either Pat Butcher leant on the bar at 'The Old Vic.' Homer Simpson downing a Duff Beer or Edina from Ab Fab holding a flute of Dom Perigean - You can not escape!
