I think some believe that sober means boring or just not living your best life because of restriction. But that couldn't be further from the truth.

With the sober curious movement in full effect, we've seen many other words pop up in place of sober.

👉🏻Dry

👉🏻Alcohol Free

👉🏻Teetotal

Are the 3 that have gained a lot of traction in the past couple of years or so. I think it has to do with people equating sobriety with a negative connotation. Like only the people who had some serious negative consequences are the "sober" ones. Hence why, other terms have popped up, like dry or teetotal, because they have more of an edgy and trendy feel to them.

Heck, I even use Alcohol Free for the 31 Day Challenge because it's more welcoming for those mothers who want to try out sobriety but don't necessarily right out of the gates want to call themselves sober.

All of this to say, I don't care what you call yourself or how you got to your not drinking path. Whatever works for you, keep doing. But I also want to point out that if you use sober, don't feel like there's anything wrong with you or that it's a dirty word. It's anything but!

Sober to me means....

✨Appreciating the good and the bad.

✨Finding out who you truly are without hiding behind a substance.

✨Finding joy in the mundane.

✨Going against the grain.

✨Being a f*cking warrior!

✨Staying true to your commitments.

✨Being honest with yourself and others.

Do those things sound dirty to you? They don't to me! That's why I am so damn proud to be a sober mom.

1905 days sober, to be exact.

Sober is a word filled with resilience, courage, and honesty. All the qualities I was looking for when I was stuck in the drinking cycle.
