#Sober Strong

1 year no alcohol! It’s been massive for me!

Nothing could be more true about this journey. I used to say I got sober because I wanted to be a father—and the best one possible. And while that’s still true, the deeper truth is this: I was done. I had finally messed up just enough to realize that nothing was going to change unless I did. The life I wanted wasn’t going to happen unless I got honest with myself. Maybe this is the wake-up call you needed to hear today. No matter what you’re feeling or walking through, you’re not alone. This journey is hard—really hard. But it’s hard because it’s worth it. Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. ✅ If you’re looking for support, drop the word “COMMUNITY” in the comments. I’ll send you info about coaching and a group that’s been life-changing. I haven’t left a single meeting in the past three years without feeling more grounded, more hopeful, and more motivated to keep F GOING!!! #sober #sobercommunity #sobercoach

100 days sober today ❤️‍🩹🎉 This is the longest I’ve gone without drinking since I was 14, shocking I know. Growing up in a pub as a publicans daughter and living with undiagnosed ADHD was… a chaotic mix. What started as “fun” quickly became self-medicating, numbing overwhelm, and chasing a different state of mind. In my late teens through to my 30s, drink and drugs took over more than most people realised. My mental health was constantly in the bin. Once I started, I couldn’t stop, I would hit the self destruct button more often than I’d like then be so low and sick days and days after. It was so dark and very chaotic, I’ve always carried so much shame. Getting my ADHD diagnosis this year was a real turning point. It helped me finally understand what was going on in my mind, why I coped the way I did, why I couldn’t be that person who “just has one”… and why alcohol can’t have a place in the life I’m building. 🧱 It hasn’t been easy I’ve done hypnotherapy, therapy, AA, and @hannahameliaviney @class_a_people “How I Got Sober” pack which all helped. I also had to change my patterns, environment and make some sacrifices. Because nothing changes if nothing changes. 🫶🏼❤️‍🩹 But today I’m emotional because I know I’ve actually done it. I know there is any going back and dare I say… I’m proud of myself. 🤍 If you’re struggling, my DMs are open 🫶🏼 #100DaysSober #SoberLife #SoberJourney #SoberCurious #SoberCommunity #RecoveryIsPossible #ADHDWomen #ADHDAwareness #HealingJourney #MentalHealthMatters #SelfGrowthJourney #neurodivergentcommunity #adhdcommunity

3 Things You Need To Hear if you’re thinking of going sober: 1) Get used to living Life in the Middle Lane 2) Be prepared to face yourself and a lot of emotions! 3) Get used to feeling like an outsider… These all may sound like torture to a lot of people 😅 but hopefully I’ve explained in this video how much growth there is to be had after going through this process ✍️💭🏆💫 #sobriety #growth #sobertips

The truth about sober weekends… #sober #london

Most of the time when we try to get sober, we make it about the wrong things. . Fixing our marriage . Going to school . Getting a job . Telling people we’re sorry . And that is exactly what you shouldn’t be doing.. These items are too complex and they are things we can’t control . So then wtf are we supposed to do? . Focus on 3 key things and the things above will get handled on their own in due time and at the right time . Change your environment . That’s people, places, and things. Nothing from the past can be the same . Find at least one sober person . This will become the person who listens to what you’re thinking, what your urges are and then provide you a new way to think and take action. . Do the opposite of what you used to do and want to do . If you went to the bar, go to a meeting. . If you called a friend to drink, call a person who doesn’t . If you sat at home drinking or using, go for a walk or to the gym . If you slept in on Sundays from being hung over, get up early and go to a meeting or church . The process to sobriety is simple but it’s overwhelming when you look beyond the day you’re currently in. Don’t make it complex, keep it simple and everything you want and deserve will find you in the process, one day at a time. #onedayatatime #keepitsimple #sober #keepitsimplestupid #recovery #wedorecover #sobriety #sobermotivation

Healing is one of the most beautiful gifts that comes with sobriety. 🕊️ For years and years I tried to ‘fix’ myself with alcohol and the truth is, this approach only caused me to feel more broken. 💔 Trust me when I say that sobriety is the one thing that truly puts you back together again and enables you to have real piece of mind. 🙏 #healing #recovery #addiction

On golf trips I always needed to drink more than my buddies, like keeping up wasn’t enough unless I was ahead. At the airport it was the same story—I couldn’t board a flight without pounding drinks first. Today I don’t need alcohol to travel, because sobriety finally gave me peace. #soberdad #soberlife #sobrietyjourney #sobermotivation #soberstrong

Oldie but goodie! #sober #sobriety #mentalhealth #selflovefirst

1.    Some people don’t need another meeting; they need a mirror. 2.   You’re not actually “lost”… you’re just avoiding the work. 3. California sober is just addiction with a better PR team 4.  Most people don’t stay stuck because they’re addicts; they stay stuck because they’re lazy. 5.       Some people stay sick because healing would require them to lose their excuses. If any of those hit a little too close to home… good. That means you’re ready. If you’re done playing small and actually ready to live on purpose, drop PURPOSE below and I’ll send you the guide.
