TW: Liver disease, cirrhosis, fatty liver.... If this is a sensitive topic to you, please take caution when listening. I talk very filter-free about all the damage that alcohol can cause on the body, so listeners discretion is advised. Hello Scoop Troop! Welcome back to another episode. This is a bit of a heavier episode about liver damage from alcohol and how I was "scared straight" into sobriety. Stay safe out there, and always consult a doctor for help on your journey.

Trying to limit our alcohol intake actually makes us think about booze WAY more than just quitting altogether, contrary to popular belief. Speaking from experience: quitting is peace. It clears your mind and frees up your headspace. In today's episode, we talk about which moderating strategies I tried and how I failed at all of them. We also dive into the mental clarity and peace that comes with sobriety. Online Sobriety Support Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/16zmgKBNDu/?mibextid=wwX...

In today's episode, I’m sharing the 10 things I absolutely do NOT miss about being a drinker. From the physical toll alcohol took on my digestion and weight, to the mental toll of shame, secrecy, and forgetfulnesses, we’re diving into the raw truths of what I left behind when I quit drinking. I open up about the emotional rollercoaster of hiding a drinking problem, the lies we tell ourselves (and others), and the freedom that comes with letting it all go. Whether you’re sober-curiou...

TW: About half way through the episode, we discuss body image and weight loss, so if this is a sensitive topic for you, please keep that in mind.

I get a lot of questions online about how to tell family, friends, and significant others that you are getting sober & quitting alcohol for good. This can be so intimidating for a number of reasons: Maybe they didn't even know you had a drinking problem? Maybe you're nervous to verbally commit to sobriety forever? Whatever your reason... I get it. All those things ran through my mind too, so in today's episode, I'm going to share how I told the people closest to me that I was getting sobe...

I'm hoping that these 4 mentality shifts can help you think of sobriety in a simpler way. My favorite one: all we have to do to stay sober is NOT drink... we don't have to DO anything! Simple right? Obviously an alcohol-free life comes with its struggles, but I hope that this helps you reframe the concept. Facebook Support Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/12Hx3jCT4Sk/?mibextid=wwXIfr

If you’re squeamish, maybe skip this one -we’re diving into the very NOT glamorous side of having a drinking problem: digestive issues. My gut was a mess when I drank, and “food poisoning” was basically a weekly event. But after quitting, it healed almost instantly, and now when something’s off, I actually know what it is because alcohol isn’t muddying the waters. Digestive peace is honestly such a blessing, and it feels like I've cracked the code to life.

Celebrating a different kind of birthday today: One year alcohol-free! And I couldn’t be more proud of myself. It’s actually shocking to look back over the last year and think about all that has changed in my life. I feel like a completely different person, both physically and emotionally. Letting go of one thing has given me everything, and I’m so grateful that one random Thursday in 2024, I decided to kick a substance that was no longer serving me. Here’s to many more sober-versaries. Thank...

I remember feeling so incredibly elated in the beginning of sobriety -almost like I was experiencing a high. It was such an unexpected rush that I actually Googled it to see if it was normal. And, of course (because apparently none of us have an original experience), it was totally normal, and it even had a name: The Pink Cloud. Let’s talk about it.
