You should no longer feel any hangover side effects, and blood sugar levels stabilize.  At this point, sleep is likely to be disturbed.  We talk about sleep a lot in this episode because we love our sleep.  Crazy beans!  The fear of not being able to fall asleep or falling asleep like a log but then waking up at 3 am flooded with all things nasty like dread and anxiety…so it deserves to be spoken about!

We also explain what to expect from withdrawal symptoms and what to do if you're unsure or worried about your detox.  But this isn't a podcast solely about withdrawal. It's also about the life-changing benefits our bodies and minds get from taking a break from alcohol …

Would you believe us if we told you that anger builds our self-esteem and self-image, allows for proper boundaries and restores our sense of self?!

Being willing to embrace difficult emotions such as anger rather than repressing or avoiding them is a sign of emotional intelligence. When we are emotionally intelligent (which is what we are all growing in ourselves by being and learning here), we do not resist anger but instead welcome it with curiosity and caution. Anger is potent, after all, and needs to be treated with care. Still, if understood and acknowledged, we become emotionally resilient.

Get ready to dig in, expand your knowledge and understanding of this emotion and watch this new information ripple throughout your life. So come on, jump into the world of anger with us, and we think you might even enjoy yourselves!!

Counting your alcohol-free days can be a great way to stay accountable and motivated to stay sober. It can also be a great way to track your progress and remind yourself how far you have come.

On the flip side, counting days can become a source of obsession and pressure, leading to feelings of guilt and shame if you slip up. The critical thing to remember is that it’s your decision to count days or not – and that your choice should be based on what’s best for you.

No expectations and no asking you to suddenly ‘deny’ yourselves alcohol with no explanation as to what its doing in our lives in the first place! Non, non, non, we see it as a month to consider what connections our brains have made with drinking, why we drink and what makes it so darned difficult to stop!
 

We will talk compassion, grace, curiosity, data points and share a fantastic journaling exercise to make this a learning experience you’ll never forget. 

Ready? Ok, let’s get this January podcast series started!!

In our signature style we approach the topic with humour and lightheartedness. Why? Because we all feel better when we find out that we’re not the only person dealing with challenging things like admitting we have a problem and that we might be addicted and that we might need to stop drinking. 

We dig into the potential shame, guilt and other equally unhelpful emotions that can stop us from reaching out and what to do to climb out of that rut. We remind you that you are NOT alone, broken or powerless and that you have everything you need in you to start building a life to fall in love with.
