Breaking up with alcohol is like... By Alyson Premo

Breaking up with alcohol is the same as breaking up with a toxic partner or friend. You don't want to, but you know you have to in order to give yourself a chance at the best life possible.

You know those relationships that you keep going back to over and over again because you haven't learned your lesson yet and would rather stay in comfortable misery instead of feeling all the feels and eventually moving the fuck on?

That's exactly the same type of relationship that most of us had or still have to this day with alcohol.

We know deep down it's not serving us, but we're scared.

Scared of...

👉🏻 the unknown.

👉🏻 being alone.

👉🏻 all the worse-case scenarios going on in your head.

It's normal to be scared because our brain likes safety, but it's not normal to continue to put your own life at risk or accept that misery is just part of life.

You ready to be done with comfortable misery?

I have ONE spot open for my signature 90 Day 1:1 Coaching Program, where I take you through reversing the toxic drinking cycle and letting the REAL you that's been hidden under the guise of motherhood and alcohol for too long shine through.

This is THE program for you if you're looking to uncover WHY you drink and unravel all the beliefs and stories you've been telling yourself on why you NEED alcohol to get motherhood.

✔️ 90 days of holding space for you to cry, TALK and work through what you've been suppressing with alcohol.

✔️ 90 days of accountability.

✔️ 90 days of questions to guide you to those "aha" moments.

✔️ 90 days of support from me whenever you need it.

✔️ 90 days of showing yourself how capable you truly are to make it through the uncomfortable days.

If you've listened to all the podcasts, read all the quit lit, been to therapy, follow all the sober pages, and it still hasn't clicked for you yet, then coaching may be just what you need to get the consistency and 1:1 support to get you out of this exhausting cycle once and for all.

✍🏻 Since this is a commitment financially and time-wise, I want to make sure it will be a good fit for both of us. For that reason, it is APPLICATION ONLY. After you apply, I will reach out to you to schedule a brief chat.

Imagine leaving this world without knowing what you could have been. By Alyson Premo.

Imagine leaving this world without knowing what you could have been.

Yesterday I posted on my (@alysonpremo) stories about how for the next 30 days, I'm going to show up and talk to all of you on my personal page. For some of you, this may be the easiest thing in the world. You're a natural behind the camera.

Me though I have a deep-rooted fear of being seen, and I'm working on letting that fear dissolve once and for all.

❌ I'm done playing safe.

❌ I'm done caring about what others might say or think about me.

❌ I'm done playing small.

❌ I'm done letting my BIG DIC - deep inner critic (as my coach calls it) control my life.

I'M FUCKING DONE.

I have big things in store for myself and a mission to bring to the masses.

You might be like, "Alyson, what does this have to do with sobriety?" It has EVERYTHING to do with sobriety.

What if you keep continuing on this path of drinking?

What if you look back one day and wonder what kind of mother, daughter, friend, spouse, or human you would've been without alcohol?

What if you lose out on an opportunity that changes the trajectory of your whole life just because you put alcohol as your top priority?

I don't know about you, but I don't want to look back one day and wonder what if. What if I put myself out there FULLY? What if I went ALL IN to create the life I've always wanted? So I'm taking action and stepping out of my comfort zone, all in the name of no regrets.

👉🏻 Do you want to look back on your time here on Earth and wonder what if when it comes to your relationship with alcohol, or do you want to know that you tried your damn hardest to be the best person and mother possible and lived your life FULLY?

You're not drinking red wine for the antioxidants. By Alyson Premo.

It's so funny when people say, but I drink wine for the antioxidants. Love, you can get the same amount of antioxidants in a handful of blueberries without the poison. Stop lying to yourself. You're not drinking it for the health factor.

You know when you quit drinking, and some people come out of the woodwork being like, "I drink red wine for the antioxidants and to help my heart." 🙄

I don't know how to break this to you, but that belief isn't true, and you can get that same amount of antioxidants from blueberries, kale, dark chocolate, artichokes, pecans, raspberries, red cabbage, beans, and so many more without a side of poison.

Back in the day, I would've said the same thing. I would've found any article or piece of evidence to justify why I could keep drinking. That's the thing we actively seek out evidence that is in alignment with our views.

I mean, this is exactly what's going on in the world today. We're constantly searching for opinions that match our own so that we feel validated.

But we have to take into consideration who funds these studies. And while the "one glass of red wine a day is good for your heart" MAY have been true back in the day. Things change through time.

Just like when doctors were promoting cigarettes back in the day as "healthy," we now know the serious effects of nicotine.

Many people are unaware of the harmful effects of alcohol and what it can do to your mind and body because it's glamorized and falsely advertised.

When you start speaking up about alcohol, you may get some pushback and be told to lighten up, but you are also planting the seed for people to see alcohol for what it really is. That's how we start the change—bringing these insights into your awareness.

People may not like what they hear.

People may get defensive.

People may try to joke about it.

But all you can do is tell your truth and lead by example.

Enrollment is NOW OPEN for Soberlicious September - 30 Day Sober Curious Challenge. This is THE place for mothers questioning their relationship with alcohol to learn, receive support, and connect with other moms at a similar point on their journey.

My (@alysonpremo) Alcohol-Free Challenges have helped hundreds, if not, thousands by now. Now it's your turn to experience the benefits of ditching alcohol for good!

Your friendly reminder that alcohol is not FDA approved. By Alyson Premo.

With all this talk of FDA approval, did you know alcohol is NOT approved by the FDA?

I didn't know that during my drinking days, and to be honest, nor did I care. I had a one-track mind to dismiss any concerns brought to my attention for what alcohol really was. And that's ok. I wasn't ready to see the truth.

But that's why I'm sharing my truth and planting the seeds for you to see what alcohol truly is.

I started off as a social drinker, too, or whatever society perceives as a "social drinker", then progressed to using it to cope with stress, anxiety, sadness, happiness. Pretty much, I used anything as a justification to have a glass of wine that turned into a bottle that eventually turned into drinking morning to night.

Stop dismissing that voice inside your head and that feeling in your gut telling you that something is off with your drinking.

That voice is saving you from more regret, more guilt, and more misery, so listen to it!

Are you ready to see alcohol for what it is and take your power back from the hold it has over your life? The Soberlicious September - 30 Day Challenge is a great way to shift your mindset towards alcohol and get the consistency needed to ditch alcohol for good.

Daily content with audio lessons.

I'm a better mom without alcohol. By Alyson Premo.

I'm not saying I'm a "perfect" mom because I don't drink, but I am saying I'm a way better mom without alcohol.

"Before we can help our children, we have to help ourselves."

I didn't realize how profound this was until I witnessed myself on vacation helping out my son. Yes, I help him on a daily basis with emotions, motivation, and whatever else is needed in that day, but this instance really stood out for me.

He wanted to do the ropes course, but he had some hesitations. The height, being in a harness, the fear of the unknown. I helped him talk through those fears, and once he was on the course, he didn't want to get off, and he said he had so much fun.

Imagine if I had been drinking and he wanted to do the course but had all those hesitations? I most likely would've said that's fine and moved along because I didn't want to deal with the back and forth. Or I would've gotten angry because he wasn't being tough enough.

BUT NOT THIS TIME.

I had the patience, clarity, and tools to help him, but before I could help him, I had to help myself.

These situations always weren't like this, though. And by no means am I saying I get every situation "right", don't lose my temper occasionally, or am the "perfect" mom. Not saying that AT ALL.

But I'm a way better mom without alcohol than with because the alcohol would've clouded my judgment, and when I was drinking, all I cared about was myself and how I could feel better. I wasn't worried about how my behavior and the words I choose would affect my son in the future.

But now I know, so now I do better.

Every day I'm grateful for this journey because it's not only made me a better human but a better mother.

The past two rounds of the 30 Day Alcohol-Free Challenges have been such a success that I'm bringing it back again for September!

Be on the lookout for your invite to join 39 other women and me for Soberlicious September. 30 days of education, support, and connection with other moms at a similar point on their journey!

There will never be a perfect day to quit drinking. By Alyson Premo.

If you let yourself, you will always find an excuse to keep drinking. I spent many years thinking I was too young or wasn't that bad, or everyone around me was drinking just as much as I was.

The truth was there will never be a perfect day to quit drinking. No matter what day you start, it's going to be uncomfortable because it's new. Will it be hard? More than likely, but that just goes to show you the grips alcohol has on you.

The most important thing I want you to get out of this post is the longer you wait, the harder it gets. And I'm not saying that you have to use the forever word or won't have slip-ups on this journey, but what I am saying is starting now and having mishaps while learning lessons along the way is better than not starting at all.

❌ If you are on the VIP list for my(@alysonpremo) new 4-month coaching program, check your email!!❌

Sober Confidence: Living Alcohol Free + Confident AF Group Coaching Program is going be THE place for moms to connect who have got the not drinking part down but are ready to climb even higher in finding who you truly are without booze, become a badass woman, a mother that doesn't need alcohol to handle whatever life throws her way, and a difference-maker in the world.

This program will take you through the major end-of-the-year holidays and halfway into the first month of the New Year.

🔥 How amazing would it feel to have a group of MOMS to support you through a time when you would normally drink?

🔥 How amazing would it feel to be present for the holidays with your kids?

🔥 How amazing would it feel to go into the New Year with significant sobriety time under your belt?

So damn good!

Again this is INVITE ONLY. If you weren't on the list but want to see what all the hype is about, message me (@alysonpremo), and we can see if it would be a good fit for you!

P.S. This is an investment, which means if you're not ready to make a commitment, that's ok, but that means this program isn't for you.

Every single day you have a choice. You can choose to drink, or you can choose not to.

Every single day you have a choice. You can choose to drink, or you can choose not to.

What would the tomorrow version of you tell you to do?

I already know that answer. Not drink. The tomorrow you will wake up yet again wondering what's wrong with you, why you can't just stick to not drinking, and having so much guilt and regret for the choice you made when you felt that you had no other choice.

But newsflash - YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE.

All it takes is a millisecond of a pause to get you out of that automatic loop and choose differently.

Listen to a podcast, reach out to a support group or friend, go for a walk, write out your feelings, remember your WHY, drink a glass of water, eat a snack.

I know it isn't always easy not to reach for that drink but remember you ALWAYS have a choice.

So what are you going to choose today?

I've been working on something behind the scenes the last couple of months, and it's almost time to bring it out into the world!

I'll give you a hint. 👇🏻

I'm being VERY selective about who I choose to accept into this program, and there are only 20 spots, so again, I'm not messing around.

All the details, pricing, and when we start will be in that email, so message me on here @sobermomtribe or my personal profile @alysonpremo for your invite!

Uncertainty but one thing I know for sure. By Alyson Premo.

There is so much uncertainty in the world right now, but I know without a doubt drinking would make it so much worse.

Let me preface this by saying I don't watch the news. Lots of fear-mongering, anxiety-inducing, and distraction from the present. And this is something I've learned to distance myself from because it doesn't bring me any peace or even any answers.

It makes me ruminate. Get into a state of panic. And quite frankly, I don't want to live my life like that. Alcohol made me do the exact same thing, and I'll be damned if I got sober to do the same shit.

No matter what is going on in the world, that's not a good enough reason to drink.

I hear it all the time. 👇🏻

I'm stressed, so I need wine to make me feel better. (Um, does wine solve the problem? Does wine give you the rest you really need? Does waking up the next day feeling like garbage make you feel better? No. It's just a vicious cycle of feel like crap. Drink. Feel like crap again. Drink. And you get the point.)

I don't know what school is going to be like in the Fall for my kids. (Um, how does this even equate to wanting a drink? The uncertainty? I get it. You don't have control over most things in life, and this is just throwing you for a loop, so you throw your hands in the air and drink to numb out?)

What it all comes down to is we can come up with all the justifications to drink even when we're minorly inconvenienced, never mind in the middle of all this chaos.

But I know without a doubt, drinking will not make ANYTHING better.

Your kids need you during this time, and if your kids are grown and out of the house, I don't care. Our kids still need us to be a positive influence in their lives, no matter the age.

Tips for an alcohol-free weekend. By Alyson Premo.

I'm sure many of you reading this are in the early stages of your journey and wondering how the heck you're going to get through a weekend of not drinking.

Some tips for you.

💥 Plan. What are your plans this weekend? Any potential triggering situations? If so, assess if it's really worth it to go. What are you going to do in your downtime when you'd normally be sitting on the couch downing a bottle of wine?

💥 Stock up on all your favorite seltzers or NA beverages. Put it in a fancy glass with some fruit, and you're good to go!

💥 Set the intention that NO MATTER WHAT you will not drink this weekend. No wishy-washy thinking because then your left going back and forth and trying to talk yourself out of not drinking.

💥 Focus on how you're going to FEEL on Monday.

💥 Take it one minute or one hour at a time if you need to. Small increments of time are always the easiest way to make it through an urge or craving.

These tips are great, but do you want to know an even better way to help you make it through a weekend where you would typically drink? Get support and accountability from someone who can guide you through and who GETS IT.

Wondering how you can do that? Apply for the 90 Day 1:1 Coaching Program where I'm (@alysonpremo) there to be a listening ear, an encourager, and a way that you can finally get consistent on this journey instead of talking yourself into drinking time and time again.

No matter where you are on your journey - we all started the same by picking up that one drink.

No matter where you are on your journey - we all started the same by picking up that one drink.

You know how some of us judge others for how they let themselves get so out of control with their drinking? Well, at least I did back when I was drinking. Watching episodes of Intervention saying, "I'll never get that bad." or "Why can't they just stop?"

Jokes on me. Even though I was high functioning until the last couple of months before I went to detox, I was that bad. And the progression didn't happen overnight. It never does. Alcohol keeps reeling you in because that's what a chemically addictive DRUG does.

All of this to say, we all start with that first drink. I don't care if you're a binge drinker, a grey area drinker, or have alcohol use disorder; we all started the same way.

And it really makes me upset now when I hear others say I'm not that bad. I wasn't "that bad" either until I was drinking from the minute I woke up to the minute I passed out.

What are you waiting for anyway? To lose your job? To lose your kids? Are you waiting to use all your funds on alcohol so that you don't have any money left for food or to pay your bills? Will that be when you justify that you're "that bad"?

You don't need to get to that place, though. There is no prerequisite that you have to hit "rock bottom" to change your relationship with alcohol.

If you're reading this right now saying, "I'm not that bad," then this is your sign to do something about it before it gets you to the place of potentially ruining your life or the relationships you have with the people you love. Because if you keep drinking, you will not get better. You will get worse. And this is a FACT.
