Feeling anxious and uncertain about how to stay sober during the holidays? You're not alone, especially if it's your first holiday season alcohol-free.  It's completely normal to feel out of place and crave a drink during those holiday parties and family gatherings.  You're probably used to toasting the New Year with a glass of champagne or sipping red wine around the Christmas fire.  For a long time I knew that I should stop drinking but couldn't imagine office holiday parties, family celebrations and New Year's Eve alcohol-free. The truth is that my first holiday season wasn't easy, but it was good.  After years of regretting drinking too much at big events it was lovely to remember all of New Year's Eve, wake up on Christmas morning without a hangover and replace guilt and regret with peace and pride.  To help you navigate the boozy holiday season alcohol-free, I gathered a trio of experts: Gill Tietz, host of  the Sober Powered podcast, Veronica Valli, author and host of the Soberful podcast, and Paul Churchill host of the Recovery Elevator podcast.  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.

A delightful conversation about emotional sobriety with Veronica Valli -- podcaster, recovery coach, psychotherapist,  and author of Soberful: Uncover a Sustainable, Fulfilling Life Free of Alcohol, and Why You Drink and How to Stop.  

Join us for a captivating episode featuring Veronica Valli, a true force in the world of sobriety and psychotherapy. With an impressive track record of 23 years of sobriety and 18 years of experience as a psychotherapist, Veronica is fiercely dedicated to unraveling the deceptive web surrounding alcohol, including the "clean wine" con.  Prepare for an eye-opening conversation as we dive headfirst into the smoke and mirrors created by Big Alcohol as they attempt to infiltrate the wellness industry with their misleading claims of "healthier" alcohol. We expose some of the most egregious culprits behind these marketing scams, shining a light on Avaline, the brainchild of Cameron Diaz, which cunningly highlights its use of organic grapes and minimal additives. But that's not all – we also unveil the audacity of "Mom Water," a tantalizing fruit-infused vodka water that boasts zero carbonation, sugar, carbs, and gluten. Together, we challenge the essence of labeling alcohol as "clean," even when it originates from organic grapes and lacks sugar. We ask, “Who truly benefits?" when women succumb to these marketing tactics.  But that's not all – we explore the mental bandwidth that alcohol consumes in our lives. And we chat about how to recognise the signs when alcohol begins to occupy an excessive amount of headspace and how that keeps us living up to our full potential.

Veronica Valli is a woman in long-term sobriety and as a recovery coach and psychotherapist, she understands that there is no ONE path to sobriety.Veronica is the author of the book ‘Soberful: Uncover a sustainable, fulfilling life free of alcohol', co-host of the Soberful Podcast, and creator of successful online recovery programs, Veronica and I share how parenting our children teaches us to be mothers. At three years sober she went through a difficult time with relationships and was suicidal.  She realized there was something wrong and started consistently doing things to support her mental and emotional health. The “magic formula” of sobriety is consistency. We believe self-centeredness is the root of many of our problems–it isn't what you think of yourself, it's how often. Spirituality is a key part of sobriety–it is not religion but is simply being good to your spirit, personal development, growth, and self-awareness. It is a blessing to be able to recognize the need for connection with something bigger than ourselves or other humans. You can find Veronica on her website, Instagram.Grab her book Soberful here.

Rollercoasters are a fun diversion, but they're no way to live. That's why the whipsaw experience of being on an emotional rollercoaster is one of the things folks are most happy to see leave their life. Those radical highs and lows aren't confined to the times when people are using - they often extend well into sobriety. Usually driven by hyper-sensitivity and, to be honest, a lot of self-absorption. And that's where today's guest comes in…. As we mark the beginning of Year Two for Tell Me Something True, we're revisiting a conversation with Veronica Valli on emotional sobriety. We get into how emotional sobriety does, and doesn't, relate to abstinence from substance or process addictions. What emotional sobriety actually means, why it's something everyone has to do (not just people in recovery) if they want healthy relationships, because no matter what, “the hardest thing any human being has to do is deal with other people.” In addition to being a dear friend, Veronica is a woman in long-term recovery, a therapist, a sobriety coach, founder of the Soberful program, a co-host of the Soberful podcast, and the author of three books, the most recent of which, Soberful: Uncover a Sustainable, Fulfilling Life Free of Alcohol. Veronica has genuine encouragement to share about the comfort and relief that comes from living an integrated life. As happens every time we talk, after this conversation, we felt more grounded, clear, and hopeful and hope this has the same effect for you, too.

"No thanks - I'm not drinking tonight." In a culture that equates alcohol with enjoyment and social acceptance, making this simple statement can make us feel like we're depriving or even punishing ourselves. "When we realize that we don't want to drink anymore or can no longer drink safely, it can feel like the only choices are to spiral out of control or embrace a joyless life," says psychotherapist and sobriety expert Veronica Valli. "But it's not true! Sobriety can be a path filled with fun, excitement, belonging, relaxation, and romance." Veronica Valli joins Sister Jenna to discuss how to get sober and stay sober by increasing your self-worth, energy, and participation in life. She debunks widespread beliefs about alcohol and sobriety, including the illusion that alcohol itself is the problem. She will take us into the heart of her method for building an alcohol-free life that works - the Five Pillars of Sustainable Sobriety. Veronica Valli has lived and taught sober living principles for over twenty years, both in her personal journey and to thousands of clients who she's helped discover the joys of sober living. She's built a community of over 10,000 and hosts a popular podcast with Chip Somers, the initial recovery coach to Russell Brand.

This week, Veronica Valli: author, recovery coach, and host of the Soberful Podcast, celebrating her 22nd year of sobriety, joins Alex Meschi and Jaana Woodbury. Veronica was introduced to alcohol and drugs at an early age. She discovered substances seemingly went hand in hand with a few other things she adored: partying, dancing, and going to nightclubs. Things began taking a dark turn, however, when she found herself hospitalized after a bad hallucinogenic experience and compromising her integrity and dignity while under the influence. All the while, Veronica was completely bought into the idea that she could not enjoy herself without alcohol. Life continued to evolve into a constant state of fear; fear she was not good enough, fear she was not lovable, fear of what people thought of her, and she was desperate to put an end to these feelings. Finally, after visiting with nearly every specialist under the sun, she pinpointed that alcohol was the root of all her problems, and she hasn't looked back since. Veronica talks about how, in her first year without alcohol, she built a habit of sobriety that would stick with her the rest of her life. She also talks about how, for her, sobriety has not been difficult, being an alcoholic was. She goes on to explain how there are four specific things people with an alcohol problem do: they drink, they think about drinking, they think about not drinking, and they recover. All these things take up bandwidth in one's mind and an individual can spend their whole life fixated on this one problem, missing all the important moments that come along the way. She also discusses how the life experiences she thought were being enhanced by substances have become even more meaningful in a clear state of mind. After 22 years of sobriety, Veronica says that life does not get any better than what is right now for her, and she credits the early habits she adopted to get her where she is today.   You can find Veronica and all her work at the following:   veronicavalli.com   soberful.com   Instagram: @veronicajvalli   Her book: Soberful: Uncover a Sustainable, Fulfilling Life Free of Alcohol   Her Podcast: Soberful     For more information on the Red Songbird Foundation, please visit:   redsongbird.org   If you are interested in donating to the Red Songbird Foundation, please visit:   redsongbird.org/donate   Follow us on Instagram at: @redsongbirdfoundation     New episode every Thursday!   Check us out on YouTube every Friday! Let The Journey Begin Podcast     Please subscribe, rate, and review!   Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

This week was a very special treat! Veronica Valli, author of Soberful, came on and we discussed her path to sobriety, and had awesome discussions stemming from her new book, Soberful.We discussed the bandwidth that alcohol requires and Veronica compared a life of drinking too much, like only having 2G internet. We ‘function' but we aren't running at the full capacity that we could be.Also, we discussed growth and how we are programmed to be growing, and how alcohol stalls that growth and with that stall, we need to drink more to numb the discomfort of this lack of growth.Veronica is a pioneer and time-tested professional in the sober space and this interview is a must listen. She's been sober for 20 years and is dedicated to sharing that being sober is not boring, in fact, it's the opposite!

In this edition of The Way Out we have Recovery Coach, psychotherapist, author, and person in long term recovery herself – Veronica Valli. Veronica was an absolute delight to interview for myriad reasons, not the least of which is her remarkable ability to get to the heart of what our core problem is and precisely how we can address it with her new book Soberful – Uncover a sustainable, fulfilling life free of alcohol. Many of us, myself included, can identify with the persistent internal emotional and mental turmoil that is so eloquently described in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous by Bill Wilson as restlessness, irritability, and discontentedness that prior to recovery is but temporarily assuaged through succumbing to our addictive behavior or substance of choice. This presents the impossible predicament of not being able to manage our addiction, yet not being able to tolerate abstaining from our addiction lest we become – you guessed it – restless, irritable, and discontent. Indeed, that was my dilemma and that of countless others prior to doing the deep, meaningful work that defines the process of recovery which is why Veronica's book is both a desperately needed and exceedingly valuable recovery resource. It answers the question to What do I do now that I quit my addiction with her 5 pillars of sustainable sobriety. These pillars, which are movement, connection, balance, process, and growth address our counterproductive default thought and behavior patterns that all too often conspire against us and become all but impossible to ignore once we've put the proverbial plug in the jug. Veronica shares how doing this work delivers on the promise our substance or behavior of choice originally offered and much more – a life that is meaningful, rewarding, and fulfilling – you might call it a Soberful life, so listen up.

What if drinking isn't the problem but rather a symptom of the problem? What if it's masking the deeper personal development work you need to do? What if instead of being a solution, alcohol is sapping your confidence, exacerbating your anxiety and making it harder to connect with others? What if you're drinking because of fear, limiting beliefs, not feeling good enough, an inability to set healthy boundaries, needing to heal past trauma or break unhealthy patterns? What if removing alcohol could be the first step in growing, changing and returning to yourself?  My guest today is Veronica Valli. She's an author and co-host of the popular podcast, Soberful.

The Soberful Life with Veronica Valli This week on the Resilience Unravelled podcast, Dr Russell Thackeray talks to Veronica Valli who struggled with alcoholism through most of her twenties. A binge drinker, she was aware for some time that something was wrong but was unable to define what it was however a chance meeting led to her finally getting help and turning her life around. At the height of her addiction, Veronica was unable to go to work without the aid of a drink and her life and confidence were in tatters. She got sober in 2000 at the age of twenty-seven and now uses this experience to help and inspire others. In this podcast: Veronica talks about the signs that someone might be struggling with alcohol How alcohol affects the genders differently The importance of connection and community.

I talk a lot in my work about the concept of Buffering, which is when we try to change our emotional landscape with something outside of us. We feel lonely so we eat. We feel bored so we scroll social media. We are stressed or uncomfortable so we drink. The problem with buffering is two-fold: It distracts us from the truth of our life. It has long-term consequences. Buffering with alcohol has some unique consequences I believe for the perimenopausal and menopausal populations, which is the age group I primarily work with. So I could not be more thrilled to be hosting Veronica Valli on the podcast. Veronica Valli is changing the narrative on sobriety. With 21 years of sobriety and 19 years of experience as a recovery coach and psychotherapist, she understands that there is no ONE path to sobriety. I adore Veronica, her message, and her mission and I am excited for you to tune into this conversation that we recently had.

What if you could step off the rollercoaster of emotional highs and lows? What if the pain that comes with taking everything personally could taper and largely disappear? THAT'S the promise of emotional sobriety, and Veronica Valli is one of the most steady, sane, helpful voices when it comes to that murky topic. Veronica is a woman in long-term recovery, a therapist, a sobriety coach, founder of the Soberful program, a co-host of the Soberful podcast, and the author of three books, the most recent of which, Soberful: Uncover a Sustainable, Fulfilling Life Free of Alcohol, will be published on January 25. On this episode of TMST, we get into how emotional sobriety does, and doesn't, relate to abstinence from substance or process addictions. What emotional sobriety actually means, why it's something everyone (not just people in recovery) has to do if they want healthy relationships, because no matter what, “the hardest thing any human being has to do is deal with other people.” Veronica's site: https://www.veronicavalli.com/ The Soberful podcast: https://soberful.com/ Spotify playlist for this episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2loOl3NNSDWcCu4P2eiYJL?si=8037f210931b423d&nd=1 Tell Me Something True is a 100% independent podcast.

“The 12 steps are a return to the internal world...If you just do the cogs in a wheel, they will create an emotional rearrangement in you.” ~Veronica Valli Hundreds of people take shaky steps toward sobriety every day. Veronica Valli began her journey 20 years ago this past May. Like many, she credits Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with helping her stay joyfully sober. But the author, podcast host, psychotherapist and coach knows not everyone shares her experience.  That said, she's not about to let a recent New York Times OpEd piece get away with passing off misinformation as fact - especially where the care of female alcoholics in recovery is concerned.  We chat about that blog post as well as her developmental trauma and eventual emotional sobriety. Her answers to our favorite healer questions lead to our discussion about her experiences with Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or tapping.  These days, it’s impossible to close the show without asking about COVID19. "I hope this is teaching us how we kind of have this...I mean, it's about connection," she says. Although referring optimistically to our post-pandemic future, Veronica’s comment could just as easily apply to her affinity for AA.  BIO Veronica Valli has been joyously sober since May 2nd 2000. Originally from the UK, she is a psychotherapist, Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner, Recovery Coach and Author of books ‘Why you drink and How to stop’ and ‘Get Sober Get Free.’ She is also the co-host of the Soberful Podcast. Veronica passionately believes that anyone can recover from an alcohol problem if they are given the right tools and support.  She has personally helped thousands of women transform their lives. Veronica believes that alcohol is only a symptom of the problem and that to recover, thrive and become the women we are truly meant to be, we need to embrace a process of change. Now based in the USA she works with women all over the world through her online programs and Facebook groups.  She is married and lives on Long Island with her husband and two sons.  For full show notes, guest information, and resources, visit: http://www.headhearttherapy.com/podcast *** Conversations with a Wounded Healer is a proud member of @mhnrnetwork.

goCarol the Coach will be interviewing Beronica Valli who is the Creator of the Soberful Program. She believesing to be talking about the Soberful program and The Five Pillars of Sustainable Sobriety. The five pillars hold up our sobriety- they are personal development for sober people.  the five pillars are: Movement, Connection, Balance, Process and Growth. We practice these in our lives as our addiction (no matter what that addiction is) is an external manifestation of an internal problem.

Boundaries? What are those? They are so helpful in recovery (and life in general). noun: boundary; plural noun: boundaries a line that marks the limits of an area; a dividing line. Not that kind of boundary, silly! Personal boundaries! Tiffany shares that for her, setting a boundary represents the ability to honor our needs and not try to fix others. This blog post on loveisrespect.org called “Love is Setting Boundaries: “What Are My Boundaries?” helps clarify what boundaries might look like in a relationship. Liv shares what boundaries mean to her, and introduces Tiffany and our listeners to the awesome Nedra Tawwab and her insightful posts on boundaries. We talk about problems that we had before we started intentionally practicing boundaries, such as resentment. Check out Melody Beattie’s book Codependent No More. We then dive into the how to’s of of setting boundaries, even in the middle of a conflict. We love what our friend Veronica Valli of Soberful says about boundaries: “Say what you mean, mean what you say and say it without being mean.” And again the fabulous Nedra Tawwab has an awesome post for us: We know it's not easy, so be gentle with yourself and tune in for the rest!

I am super excited to have with me today, Veronica Valli to talk about something our culture has really normalized to the point that it is nearly impossible to escape, which is, the consumption of ALCOHOL. Alcohol is everywhere! => When you go out to eat, it is very common to be asked if you want a cocktail. => The media inundates us with ads promoting alcohol. => Nearly every social occasion you are invited to will present you with an opportunity to drink. => Most people associate downtime, fun and relaxing with alcohol. We are living in an age where we have made the consumption of alcohol SO normal, that many people struggle to drink less because they literally think their life will be less enjoyable without it. And the craziest thing of all is that it is costing people a lot to drink. => It is costing people their ability to face difficult emotions head-on. => It is costing people their ability to be authentic and real. => For many, it is costing them self-respect, because alcohol is preventing them from improving things in their life they say are important to them, like health and relationships. In other words, drinking costs a lot in terms of both mental and physical health. Which is precisely why I could not be more excited to have Veronica Valli with me today to talk about why you drink and how to stop.

Popular culture has made us believe that in order to get to the land of self-acceptance, fun, freedom, and adventure, we need alcohol.

Navigating Sobriety Today we are addressing all your questions about getting sober, and the answers may surprise you. Learn why Veronica felt the need to stop drinking, what questions to ask yourself to judge your relationship with alcohol and if it is a problem, and learn why Veronica is determined to break the socially constructed normalized crutch of alcohol abuse. If you have never stopped to question the cultural differences, societal pressures and physical toll that drinking can take on your body, Veronica is here to open your eyes. A true believer in the freedom and fun you can find in sobriety, Veronica strives to make alcohol free as standard as gluten-free or vegetarian without batting an eyelid. Drinking culture can be a difficult thing to navigate, but with the tools and support, Veronica provides, you can stop using alcohol to cope and start thriving in the sober community.

And in fact, the reverse was true, my life expanded in ways are just frankly beyond my wildest dreams.” (9:36) “The secret is, you can get to the land of fun, excitement, belonging, connection, relaxing, romance, and sex, sober... and it's better.” (22:42) “When they look at the true cost, it is quite shocking to them, it's your integrity, your dignity, it's those costs, your self-esteem.” (32:21) “When alcohol rents space in your head, when you're thinking about drinking or not drinking or how much you are going to drink or what time you are going to drink or have you drank too much, its renting space in your head. That's the indication that you have a problem.” (39:14) “A sober life is a fantastic life, it is just amazing.

My very first guest here on on The SoberSoul Recovery Podcast is Veronica Valli.  Veronica has worked as a therapist and life coach specializing in addiction for over ten years; her experience includes working with young people in the criminal justice system, primary care adult treatment, outreach services and private practice.   Veronica has also worked in local government, delivering local drug and alcohol strategies.  As a recovered alcoholic and drug addict, she has personal experience of what it takes to recover from an addiction. Veronica struggled with alcoholism through most of her twenties. As a binge drinker, she was aware for some time that something was wrong but was unable to define what it was; a chance meeting led to her finally getting help and turning her life around.  At the height of her addiction, Veronica was unable to go to work without the aid of a drink; her life and confidence were in tatters. She got sober in 2000 at the age of twenty-seven.  She now uses this experience to help and inspire others, through her Soberful program, her private coaching and specialized treatments at veronicavalli.com.  She fully believes that all alcoholics and addicts can recover if they have access to the right kind of help, and that they can then go on to live life to the full.

Veronica Valli and Chip Somers introduce their new podcast. Together they have over 50 years of sobriety (Chip has 33 years and Veronica has 18). They bring this experience to the Soberful podcast as well as discussing their own struggles and mistakes. They both passionately believe that anyone can recover if they have the right tools and support.   To learn more, visit the show notes.

Sometimes in reovery, new problematic behaviours can emerge as we find new ways to self-soothe without the crutch of alcohol. This can take many forms, and this episode will look at shopping and overspending in recovery. Guests Wendy and Marie will share their personal experiences, and recovery expert Veronica Valli will offer insights on reasons this problem can emerge and what to do about it.  

This week, the girls talk to Veronica Valli, author, therapist and recovery coach. The interview was sparked by a comment Veronica left on Holly’s Facebook page in response to her article Why We Need to do Away with Ego-Deflation and Humility in Women’s Recovery and the girls talk about that comment and everything behind it, including Veronica’s history with AA, how she views feminism, humility and her recovery from co-dependence. More about Veronica can be found at www.veronicavalli.com and her books, Why You Drink and How to Stop: Journey to Freedom and Get Sober Get Free: Your Practical Guide, are available on Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

Veronica shares about "the balance plate," in recovery, parenting and all the other aspects of life.  And lastly, we answer a great question about how to reach out for help when it's the last thing you want to do.      

Veronica Valli discusses her drinking and drug use, what lead to her getting sober and her biggest challenges in recovery.

Is it difficult to share knowledge without becoming a know-it-all? Is it possible to help thousands of people get sober and avoid becoming egotistical? Does shedding anonymity automatically make someone a spokesperson for recovery? What are the potential pitfalls of recovering out loud and how are they best avoided? Therapist and author Veronica Valli (www.veronicavalli.com), and recovery advocate and lifestyle blogger Julie Elsdon-Height (www.soberjulie.com) return to the show to discuss lessons they have learned from interacting with followers of their work.

Veronica Valli is a woman in recovery who has devoted her life to informing the public on problematic drinking and addiction.
