First time?
Are you “Tired of Thinking About Drinking?” You’re not alone. My name is Belle, and I am sober. I originally created this blog to document my own journey to sobriety (the sucky parts and the glow-in-the-dark realizations). Along the way, I’ve gathered some friends, and now it’s so much more than just a blog. It’s a community gathering place for the exchange of ideas. What you’ll find here (hopefully!) is a new kind of sober resource, with a personal touch that you won’t find on other “resource” sites. If this is your first time visiting, I’ve made up a little baby roadmap for you, that might be helpful:
1 > Most Popular Stuff
To get to know me a bit, here are a couple of links that summarize my ideas on being sober:
- One Minute Audio Message: Stop Drinking
- Blog Post: Sobriety is Like a Little Car
- Blog Post: Dehydrate the Wolf
- Blog Post: I Want Help for Sobriety … But Not AA
- Medium Post (for your husband, wife, friend, sister): How not to be an ASS while I’m learning to be sober
- My book (paperback, electronic, or audio): Tired of Thinking About Drinking
2 > 100 Day Sober Challenge (you can sign up)
To read more about the 100 Day Sober Challenge, and to find out how you can get started, go here.
3 > Sober Jumpstart
I’ve created an audio coaching class, especially to help deal with the first bit of sobriety: how to pick a replacement drink, what to tell people (and when), how to deal with the idea of ‘forever’, how to deal with overwhelm, what does relapse mean. You can learn more here.
4 > Read Blog Posts in Order (follow along)
I have put together a collection of my blog posts, in chronological order, so you can see where I was on day 18 and see if it’s like where you are! If you want to read the first few months, just put your name in the box here.
