Transcript
Hello darling heart and welcome to the drink less, live better podcast.
-:This is the podcast that helps you to see that drinking less doesn't need to be stressful, lonely, or boring.
-:I'm your host, Sarah Williamson, and I decided to have a year alcohol free as a little life experiment and haven't looked back.
-:With my experience and training, I now help other people with their alcohol free or drink less adventures.
-:You can find out more and sign up to my 5 day drink less challenge at drink less live better dot com.
-:I'm here to tell you that you can relax, connect and have fun without alcohol in your life.
-:Join me here each week to find out how.
-:Today's episode is a word of warning.
-:It is possible for people to be sober and still be idiots, and I include my self in that vast sweeping statement.
-:I have seen a lot of judgment over the last couple of weeks on how other people are doing their sobriety journey.
-:People will always be evangelical in the pathway to recovery that they found because it's really difficult to see how it wouldn't
-:work for somebody else if it's worked amazingly for them.
-:In the Facebook groups I hang out in, some of them are brilliant at celebrating multiple pathways to recovery, a patchwork
-:of recovery, having an ethos of whatever works for you, do that, stick with it, or if it's not working, try new things.
-:People often fail to realize that the thing that they are expert in is themselves, and I really urge you to do your version
-:of sober, to test drive all of the different things that you think might help you and to not be afraid to leave to one side
-:the things that really haven't served you well up until this point.
-:If something feels really joyful and good, then go for that.
-:Do more of Enjoy every moment of it and if something is leading you to feel happy, content or okay enough then maybe do more of that too.
-:Everything does not have to be about being brilliant at everything and feeling fabulous every day of the week. Sometimes that's just not possible.
-:People will be evangelical if they are surrounded by a group of people who have all found exactly the same focus as the one
-:that they have, and I say let's celebrate that.
-:When somebody has found something really really good for themselves then it's okay for them to be totally happy about it,
-:but don't feel like you have to take on anybody else's version of sobriety. You need to do
-:you. Thank you for listening in this week.
-:Check out the show notes on this or any other podcast episode.
-:You'll see the link to a hidden episode to help you with your 5 PM cravings, and you'll be able to read about my one to 1 coaching program. Please come back again next week. And, PS, I believe in you.
