The Weekend Reset: It's OK if They Don't Understand
Your sobriety isn't a committee decision. It's OK if your family and friends don't understand.Yes, it's scary. If your family has always bonded over alcohol, it can feel lonely to be sober during the holiday season. It’s a challenging shift to put yourself first and not people-please to make others comfortable during the holidays. But believe me, you can do it. Today, I'll discuss how you can still be involved in holiday festivities, how to invite your family members to support you, and ideas for starting new traditions that don’t include alcohol. And remember...you're not alone. Need even more holiday sober support? I created a (free!) 10 Day Holiday Series to support you every morning. Click here to sign up! I started The Sober Mom Life Cafe so women just like you can find connection in sobriety. We have 4 Zoom Peer Support meetings every week, a monthly book club, and a private Facebook group so you can connect all day long. Join us here, now. ♥️Get Your Copy of my book The Sober Shift Follow on Instagram @thesobermomlife and @suzannewaryeDo you have a request for a topic you’d like me to cover on The Weekend Reset?

You Are Allowed to Change with Kate Vitela
Registered Nurse and Sobriety Coach Kate Vitela is here to remind you that no matter where you are on your sobriety journey, you are always allowed to change. Kate shares the story of how alcohol became a way of life for her as a young nurse and how her attempt at switching to cannabis wound up unraveling her life in a way that led to full sobriety. She also shares about her experiences with AA. Originally a program that changed her life, Kate felt after a couple of years of sobriety that she no longer wanted to identify as an ‘alcoholic’. This choice led her to unexpected backlash that led her to step away from the program and develop her own. Kate is now a sober coach and sober podcaster focusing on a message that blends science, spirituality, real stories, and humor to create a recovery approach that’s authentic and empowering.

The Weekend Reset: Am I That Bad?
There’s a problematic message in our society that tells us that we only need to quit drinking if our drinking looks ‘that bad’. You know the kind - Meg Ryan in When A Man Loves a Woman or Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas. This message can cause so many challenges for women on their sobriety journeys. It can make them second guess themselves about whether or not they need to quit drinking, even as their personal relationship with alcohol becomes more and more negative. But what if you reframed this message? What if you stopped asking if you were ‘that bad’, and started asking if alcohol was that bad? How would this change your perspective?
