The latest quit lit… is my book! 🌟🤢

My book JUICY AF* (*Alcohol Free) launches on Tuesday, January 10th. And I am terrified. Terrified it’s going to launch to… crickets. And simultaneously terrified that people are going to read it. Nothing like acting out my existential crisis on a public stage. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m an exquisitely sensitive human being…

The Reason Your Approach To Staying Sober Isn’t Working

Hint: Willpower won’t work. Do you relate to my story? I had lots of rules about drinking. Only drink wine. Never have wine in the house. Follow each glass of wine with a glass of water. Drink more juice. Avoid brown liquor. Drink on a full stomach. Only have 3. …

10 Quick and Easy Ways to Stop Relapsing and Stay Sober

Truthfully, some of these are neither quick nor easy. But they work. And without them, your chances of staying sober decrease. — I felt like a raw nerve end when I gave up drinking. I was super sensitive, wildly anxious and super uncomfortable. And I’m still sober 22 years later. None of that stuff killed me. And I made it through. You can, too. Here are 10 ways — some quick and…

Your drinking life seems normal. If these 5 things are true, it’s not.

Some things to consider if your relationship with alcohol is exhausting. If you’re questioning your relationship with alcohol, see if you experience any of these five things. If so, you might benefit from quitting. 1. When you start, your off switch disappears (what off switch?), and you experience an insane desire for more. I felt like I was under a spell. My drinking was outside of my control once…

I drank to numb my sense of lack. There is a spiritual solution.

The ache in my solar plexus is as familiar to me as the back of my hand. In Boulder, where I live, we believe that’s where our 3rd chakra lives. You know, the energy center in the body where our sense of personal power lies. When I imagined what that…

Set down “Mommy’s sippy cup.” The world needs you to show up.

Instead of tossing a second job into our juggling act, the universe has thrown us an anvil labeled Covid-19. Our current alcohol epidemic shares two of the three causes and conditions of other drug epidemics identified by Carl Erik Fisher, author of “The Urge: Our History of Addiction”: a novel…

Your spiritual seeking won’t change your life until you quit drinking.

My family went to church multiple times every week. Sunday morning. Sunday evening. And Wednesdays, too, for good measure. I went to the church’s elementary school where I got gold stars (literally!) for memorizing Bible verses and the books of the Bible in order. The brand of Christianity my parents…

Looking Like I Had It Together Made It Harder To Quit Drinking

I pretended. I pretended so hard it was exhausting. Professionally, I looked successful (SVP of a global ad agency). I dressed well. And my kids were in the Gifted & Talented program. I bragged about whatever I thought would impress you and hid what was really going on behind that…

For women, drinking quiets our harsh inner voice But then it amplifies it.

“Drinking blurs the boundaries of the inner world.” Carl Jung. I went to the kegger with an upperclassman. I was a freshman, and I was flattered that this older guy — with a driver’s license!- had asked me out. I remember a few things from that night. The first beer in a red plastic cup. How cute the guitar player…

How I tapped 7 Spiritual Laws of the Universe to Get Sober and Be Whole.

Women drink primarily to change our inner world. To drown out the voice inside that tells us we aren’t good enough. Not thin enough. Not smart enough. Not young enough. Not fill-in-the-blank enough. Any type of quit lit or treatment program that doesn’t address this underlying issue doesn’t work long…
