Hi Friends!
Welcome to summer! Summer can be a mixed bag especially in sobriety and recovery. The combo of warm weather, celebrations that have been historically connected with alcohol, and family trips can be a recipe for craving a drink. How do you get through those moments when picking up a drink becomes tempting?
"Pick up the phone and connect with another sober mom."
Phone a friend! Checking in and connecting with another mom who gets it helps take the power away from cravings.
"Play the tape forward!"
Get real with yourself and be honest about what it will really look like if you pick up a drink. Is it really worth it?
"Remember your why's!"
A member this week shared how she will set an alarm or reminder on her phone for her to look at her list of why she wants and needs to stay sober to go off at the witching hour. A brilliant tool!
So how do you get through those summer moments when the craving hits?
