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.
-:
