Being sober isn't boring.
Being hungover all day, never leaving your comfort zone, and not being able to find joy in the mundane is boring.
I know this can be a big hurdle for many people ditching the booze. The "what will I do now that I don't drink?" Ummm, EVERYTHING that you didn't do while you were drinking.
What's so exciting about drinking? The hangover the next day? The beating yourself up for drinking once again? The barely being able to get out of bed? You have it all wrong. Drinking is the boring part. Drinking keeps you in your box. In your comfort zone.
You are living life just going through the motions and not fully living the one physical life you have. Once I ditched alcohol, the world of possibility opened up. No, it didn't happen overnight, but here I am, almost 4.5 years sober, and I'm anything but bored.
And being bored isn't a bad thing. We're so used to going and doing that we forget just to be, and that's where most of us get stuck. We don't like being with ourselves, and removing alcohol forces us to do that. It's uncomfortable at first, but keep reminding yourself that it's uncomfortable because it's new.
Mother's Day is fast approaching here in the U.S. With that comes celebrating all of you sober moms who are breaking generational patterns, doing hard things, and giving your kids the mother they deserve. So I want to celebrate YOU!
