Growing up without the safety of a childhood, David started drinking and using at 10. With over 40 years of sobriety, David brings a surprising perspective on “outside issues” one you might not expect from an old timer. Gratitude is what grounds David, and it's through gratitude that he finds his Higher Power.Sobriety Date: 7/4/1983Referred by: JD (Episode #190)InstagramFacebook

Scott tends to hit new bottoms before making changes—but the steps and fellowship have kept him growing, connected and sober.Sobriety Date: 12/26/2013Quotes“My biggest problem in life is my attitude and perception.”“Don't drink, go to a meeting, and ask for help.”Referred by: Sara A.

Today we have Josh. He is 48 years old, from Sarasota, FL and took his last drink of alcohol on September 23rd, 2023.   This episode brought to you by:   Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Café RE – the social app for sober people.   This is the last week to sign up for Café RE during Sober October. For the next four days when you join, you will receive a free month!     [02:28] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul was having a talk with his good friend Dusty the other day and he mentioned that when he quit drinking, nothing got worse. Which leads us to the conclusion that everything got better?   This whole thing is complicated but also it isn't. We are sold a bundle of lies from big alcohol. It just takes time to get the message to all parts of us that when you quit drinking nothing will get worse. When you quit drinking, everything will get better. Finances improve, and we start to feel better about ourselves, just to name a few things.   The word alcohol in Arabic and other languages references alcohol as a spirit or living entity. Several languages in the East, alcohol is literally translated into “mind and body eating spirit”. Nothing will get worse when you quit drinking, and to flip it, everything will get better when you're not consuming a body and mind eating spirit.     [08:45] Paul introduces Josh:   Josh is 48 and lives in Sarasota, FL. He is married with three children, he works in sales and marketing for a wellness company which he enjoys and for fun he enjoys cooking and spending time with his family.   Josh never had any alcohol until he was 20 years old. It wasn't an issue for him for a very long time until it began creeping up on him shortly before COVID. Josh says it was around this time that he was having issues with his job and found himself drinking around the clock in order to cope with it.     During COVID it only got worse. Josh says there was a lot of internal conflict around his drinking, and he says he was drinking more than he was sober and the alcohol was always corrupting him. It was hard for him to stop on his own as he had become physically dependent on it.   Josh's wife gave him an ultimatum after his first attempt at sobriety didn't work and told him to go to inpatient treatment or they were done. Josh went, didn't take it seriously and only stayed four of the ten days because he was able to convince a doctor to let him leave early. Everything in Josh's life was hanging by a thread when he left for a work trip in Italy that ended up being his rock bottom moment.   Josh drank on the flight over and did not stop after he arrived. He missed the work event and was admitted to the hospital that evening. When he awoke, he had lost his job and proceeded to drown his sorrows with whiskey and trazodone. Josh's wife had found out about him going to the hospital and came to Italy without Josh knowing. She and their friend (who was a nurse) found Josh on the floor of his hotel room without a pulse and saved his life. Josh feels that was divine intervention.   Upon returning home, Josh attended a 30-day inpatient treatment where his life changed. He met other men that were going through treatment at the same time that helped him learn new skills that would help shape his life going forward. Josh always had a hard time asking for help so learning to surrender in all ways has been important to his healing.   Josh began to learn what a gift being present can be after spending so much of his life running from things. Josh is actively working on healing his relationship with his family and friends and is also beginning to explore his spiritual side.   Josh's parting piece of guidance: surrender and you have to be willing to do the hard work.     Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up.

Barry shows up and explains "Sober October" to Jeff.

Adam grew up fast—his dad left before he was born, and his relationship with his mom was deeply co-dependent. He learned early that if he didn't take care of himself, no one else would. When he drank, it was never just one—he went from zero to wrecked every time. Adam has rebuilt his life through service, honesty, and daily action. He's learned that recovery isn't about convenience—it's about commitment. Sobriety Date: 3/29/2019 Quotes“Service starts where convenience ends.”“If you don't do the work, you're not gonna get the relief.” Referred by: Sara A.

If you're taking part in Sober October, here's the truth: it's not all glow and clarity. Expect it to be hard. Expect it to feel strange when the routine shifts. And if you're not going fully alcohol-free, expect to feel a bit underwhelmed — like you're not exactly “crushing it.” That's okay. You're not performing, you're experimenting. Every small choice not to drink on autopilot teaches your brain something valuable.In this episode, I share what to really expect during Sober October — the messy, normal, and surprisingly powerful parts. From the urges to the boredom to the people already planning their November 1st drink, I'll show you how to approach this month with curiosity instead of pressure. If you're ready to turn this experiment into lasting freedom, book your free discovery call using this link: https://tidycal.com/90dayslater/consult

Using Sober October to Build Real Change That Goes Beyond Day 31 In this episode, I'm getting honest about what “just taking a break” really means. Whether you're trying to reset, test your willpower, or prove something to yourself, I want to help you go deeper — and actually get what you came here for. I'll walk you through the two times I took breaks (30 and 60 days), how I convinced myself I was in control, and why both times led to even worse drinking. You'll learn how to spot when your relationship with alcohol has gone too far, why 30-day challenges don't create lasting change, and what to do instead if you want to stop starting over. If you're waking up on Day One of Sober October with mixed feelings — hope, fear, uncertainty — this episode will give you a plan and a path forward. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Taking a break isn't proof of control. It's often a sign you're already negotiating with something that has too much power. 2️⃣ 30 days won't fix what alcohol was covering up. The real transformation comes after the “break” ends — when you're building a life that works without alcohol. 3️⃣ You need a plan that holds you. Structure, self-trust, and emotional support are the foundation for lasting change — not just willpower or white-knuckling. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: If you're serious about making this stick — not just in October, but in real life — you need more than good intentions.

Tired of feeling sluggish, anxious, or short-tempered after drinking? In Part 2 of host Ellen Scanlon's conversation with Katie Nessel, better known as Soberish Mom on Instagram, you'll hear realistic ways to cut back without strict rules or guilt. Katie shares the mindset shift that reframed everything for her: “what did you gain last night by drinking, and what did you lose?” She explains why counting the drinks you didn't have can be more motivating than focusing on slip-ups, and how progress over perfection makes long-term change possible. We also talk about the bigger cultural moment—why moms are leading the shift away from “mommy wine culture,” how new health data about alcohol is reshaping the conversation, and what real support looks like when you want to drink less.

What happens when you take a break from alcohol-especially as a woman over 40 working toward health and fat loss goals? In this episode, I'm sharing my personal experience of going alcohol-free, why I'm committing to a “Sober October,” and the surprising benefits I've already noticed just two weeks in.We'll talk about how alcohol can slow fat loss, impact sleep and recovery, and even mess with your discipline when it comes to nutrition and workouts. And most importantly, I'll show you how removing alcohol- even temporarily- can help you feel clearer, stronger, and more in control of your goals.This isn't medical advice, and if you struggle with alcohol dependence, please seek professional support.

Welcome to another episode of The Real Dish.  I'm your hostess with the mostess, Chef Mareya, The Fit Foodie and I have a question for you. What happens when you take alcohol out of the equation? Do the celebrations stop… or do they actually get more meaningful? In this episode 151, we're exploring a movement that's gaining serious momentum: the non-alcoholic and zero-proof lifestyle. During Sober October and beyond, more people are rethinking their relationship with drinking — not out of deprivation, but out of a desire to live sharper, healthier, and more present. In fact, nearly 40% of U.S. adults say they're actively trying to drink less, and the NA beverage market is set to explode by 30% in the next few years. To help us unpack this shift, I'm joined by Sam Moore, the creator of Hazlo — a brand that proves you don't need alcohol to have bold, complex, and craveable flavors in your glass.

Who has found themselves drinking as a 'reward?' Reward for a long productive day. Reward for 'dealing with the in-laws.' Reward for being a parent to teenagers. Reward for 'being good' and going without drinking for a few days. The reward lists can be long. If you have found yourself 'reward drinking' this episode is for you! You might have even said 'I couldn't find an alternative reward that sounded more appealing...' And we talk about WHY you are seeking a reward and how nothing is going to give you the same hit as alcohol will in that moment. It's about how to be with whatever is happening with your emotional state at that time instead of 'rewarding' yourself. Why do you need a reward?
