Waking up clear-headed, proud of yourself, and with no regrets beats any superficial high alcohol gives you.

Waking up clear-headed, proud of yourself, and with no regrets beats any superficial high alcohol gives you.

Who is waking up without a raging hangover today? πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

How AMAZING does it feel?

Seriously the past version of you. The one who would be wasting a day hungover in bed ruminating on what you said or did the day before and beating yourself up for yet again breaking promises to yourself would be so damn proud of YOU today.

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU TOO!!

Are you sick of breaking promises to yourself when it comes to your drinking?

Are you sick of the day 1's?

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?

Are you sick of the frustration, lack of trust, and distance that drinking brings to your relationships?

Then it's time to do something about it.

Wishing things were different isn't going to magically make things better. You have to put in the work, surround yourself with others who will be there to support you, and talk through what's been the real reasons why you haven't been able to ditch alcohol FOR GOOD.

I (@alysonpremo) have TWO spots open for July for my 90 Day 1:1 Coaching Program - From Detox To Dedication. This is the program where I guide you through my 5 step framework to breaking bad habits, reversing the toxic cycle, and meeting the REAL you for the first time that's been hidden under the guise of motherhood and alcohol for far too long.

Click here to fill out the application.

If you are a good fit, I will reach out to you within 24 hours to book a brief chat so keep your eyes peeled if you applied!

If nothing else has worked in getting sobriety to stick, then it's time to change how you're approaching it, and 1:1 Coaching can be the catalyst you need to make alcohol irrelevant in your life once and for all.

Your freedom lies in your ability not to give a sh*t about what others think of you not drinking. By Alyson Premo.

Your freedom lies in your ability not to give a sh*t about what others think of you not drinking.

It's 4th of July weekend, and you know what that means. A lot of drunk people thinking that it's cool, sexy, and fun to wake up with a raging hangover, then continue to drink throughout the day tomorrow for the festivities, and then wake up on Monday wondering where their weekend went and why they have hangxiety and feel like absolute garbage.

Let me just tell you right now. I DO NOT miss those days. I may have thought they were fun in the moment, but my definition of fun was wack.

❌ Is it fun to blackout? Um no. No matter what your friends, memes, or anyone else says, blackouts are a HUGE sign that there is something wrong with your drinking. Not to mention how much damage you're doing to your brain.

❌ Is it fun to drive drunk? No, and this is something I'm forever grateful I never hurt anyone else in the process of me not recognizing the impact of my drinking. If you drink this weekend, please use an Uber, have a designated driver, or spend the night wherever you are.

❌ Is it fun to be the brunt of the jokes at the party for your behavior? Nope. While some may think it's funny if you're drinking in your 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's like you did in your early 20's I've got a little PSA for you - it is not cute anymore.

❌ Is it fun to be hungover to the point where it takes you a whole week to recover from a weekend of drinking? No. Think about how much TIME you are missing out on when you do this. If it's taking a week for you to recover, your body is telling you to stop punishing it. You only have one body and mind; start treating it with respect.

You can have all the fun in the world celebrating alcohol-free without all of what I listed above. Think about how proud of yourself you'll be when Monday rolls around, and you actually had FUN without drinking.

Don't let anyone who has their own insecurities about drinking tell you otherwise.

Who is ready for Dry July? By Alyson Premo.

I absolutely LOVE these dry challenges that are becoming more widespread. These dry months are a great way to reassess your relationship with alcohol and give your mind and body a break from all the booze you've been consuming.

Whether you have a negative relationship with alcohol or not, I'd consider trying out what an alcohol-free lifestyle can do for every single area of your life. I'm not joking. You remove alcohol, and EVERY single area of your life improves. Think I'm lying? Then read on!

Did you tell yourself on January 1st that this was going to be THE YEAR that alcohol would no longer be a part of your life, but here you are still stuck in the same drinking cycle?

Has moderation been more challenging than you expected?

Are you looking to assess your relationship with alcohol?

Do you want to see what a life without alcohol for 31 days can look like?

Do you want to jumpstart your sobriety journey?

This is the PERFECT month to do just that. I don't say perfect often, so that means there really is no better time than now. Many who are sober curious try out #dryjanuary #dryjuly and #soberoctober and end up sticking with it because guess what?

Their anxiety has decreased or is gone completely.

Their eyes look clearer and brighter.

Their puffy face is GONE.

The extra bloat from all the empty calories has disappeared.

Their energy has increased.

Their mindset has shifted to gratitude and looking for that pure joy.

And since #dryjuly is well known, it makes it easier for you to throw it out there for your friends and family of why you're not drinking. No lies. No made-up excuses. The TRUTH.

I (@alysonpremo) am hosting a Dry July - 31 Day Sober Curious Challenge for ONLY mothers. You want in? Click here or message me directly with any questions you have.

P.S. This challenge only comes around once a year, so it's either NOW or wait another year, but do you have another year to wait?

Instead of comparing how much you drink to someone else... By Alyson Premo.

Instead of comparing how much you drink to someone else or the fact that you don't drink in the morning, you should be asking yourself whether alcohol is having a negative impact on your life.

There are many types of problem drinkers, and comparing yourself to others doesn't do you any favors. When asking how much alcohol is too much, the most important consideration should be how alcohol affects your life.

I know most of us have been conditioned to believe that unless you drink out of a brown paper bag or start drinking as soon as you wake up in the morning, you don't have a problem with alcohol. The thing is, we shouldn't be comparing our journey to anyone else's or what society perceives as having an alcohol problem.

If you feel that alcohol is having a negative impact on your life, then that's all the justification you need to either try an alcohol-free challenge, take a break for a bit, or remove it completely from your life.

If hangovers are affecting your life and ability to parent, then it may be time to take a break.

If the anxiety the next day is crippling, then it may be time to take a break.

If your kids tell you that your favorite drink is wine, then it may be time to take a break.

If you feel that you're just going through the daily motions of life to get to your glass of wine, then it may be time to take a break.

You do not have to have this big crisis for you to take a break or stop altogether. Stop thinking that you need to get a DUI, lose your job, be in financial ruin, on the verge of a divorce or breakup, or losing your kids to have a problem. There are plenty of women in the world right now who have a negative relationship with alcohol, but they are comparing it to someone whose life has been turned upside down because of their drinking.

If you feel a nudge inside you that alcohol is taking more than it's giving, then it's time to trust yourself and take a break. One way to do that is by joining the Dry July - 31 Day Sober Curious Challenge. You don't need alcohol to have fun this summer. You ready to find out for yourself?

P.S. This challenge only comes around once a year, so get in NOW!

It's hard to let go of alcohol, but it's even harder not to. By Alyson Premo.

One of my favorite sayings is, "CHOOSE YOUR HARD" because you have the choice of whether you want to make your life harder than it needs to be.

Most of the time, we think drinking makes it easier for us to get through life or motherhood but does it really?

Is waking up with a hangover and having to take care of the kids all day worth those 30 minutes of relief?

Is the crippling anxiety the next day worth the 30 minutes of relief that you were looking for to make your anxiety better at the moment?

Is the constant negative self-talk and how you just can't do it worth it for those 30 minutes of relief?

No, it's absolutely not, but we think it is. We look for that immediate reward because that's what we've always done. We've always gone to alcohol to relieve whatever life has thrown our way, and it can be uncomfortable and hard to unlearn that pattern and rewire a new one.

But at least when you're working on ditching alcohol, there's a reward waiting for you on the other side that no amount of alcohol could provide. And that is the sense of accomplishment and pride in yourself. Making it through situations where you never thought you could before is a natural high that beats those first few sips of alcohol any day.

There's no reward for continuing on this drinking path. Absolutely none. You just get deeper and deeper into a hole that makes you hate yourself, and you will eventually become dependent on it where you need it to survive.

Stop yourself before it gets to that point. I know if you're reading this, you want to stop, so choose your damn hard before you don't have a choice.

Are you done with the excuses you keep telling yourself that it's just too hard to stop drinking?

Join us for the Dry July - 31 Day Sober Curious Challenge starting July 1st! I'm not asking you to quit drinking forever. What is forever anyway? I'm asking you to take a break for 31 days and reassess your relationship with alcohol.

Alcohol gives you a false sense of reality. By Alyson Premo.

Alcohol gives you a false sense of reality that it makes your life more manageable.

Trust me. It doesn't.

One of the most common things I hear from moms is this..." wine helps me get through the cleaning or the household tasks of laundry, homework with the kids, making dinner, etc."

What it all comes down to us wanting to escape from the daily mundane things in life. It's not right or wrong that you're looking for an outside source to break free from the monotony. But it is incorrect to think that alcohol (a chemically addictive drug) will make it easier for you to tolerate the boredom.

I know that it's hard to sit with our thoughts and feelings, but boredom is part of life. I think we're all learning now more than ever that we as a society have a problem with just sitting and letting ourselves be bored. It's ok not to be doing something 24/7. Actually, the best things get created from boredom, so instead of wanting to escape, why don't you embrace the boredom.

Embrace that every part of daily life isn't going to be exciting, and that's ok.

For the longest time, I thought alcohol was helping me manage life, but it was doing the exact opposite. My brain chemistry was being altered, and I started to rely on it. Once I depended on it, it was game over.

Alcohol wasn't the glue holding my life together as I thought. It was tearing everything apart. Take it from firsthand experience.

My life became unmanageable, NOT manageable, because of alcohol.

I don't choose mom friends based on if they day drink or not. By Alyson Premo.

I don't choose mom friends based on if they day drink or not.

I choose them based on if they love and support me just the way I am with or without alcohol.

I joined TikTok the other day because my son decided to download it, so I wanted to keep an eye on him. I was scrolling through the "for you" content and then became angry, sad, and just plain fired up with the number of videos about moms drinking because of their kids.

Thrown in there, I saw some hot bearded, tattooed guys too, so it wasn't all bad. πŸ˜‚ If you know me personally, you know my weakness is a construction guy with a beard and tattoos.

Anyway, I digress. On Instagram, I've surrounded myself with all positive and beautiful souls who either don't drink that often or are sober completely that I was in my own bubble thinking that this sober curious movement is working. Then I saw these TikTok videos about drinking because of your kids, coping with alcohol, and choosing mom friends based on whether they day drink or not.

This made me so upset on many levels, but the number one reason why it did was because this is what my 1:1 clients and challenge participants fear the most. They will lose all their friends. They won't be able to make any new ones and feel that people will look at them differently.

I want you all to know you are not alone, and if you're seeing social media posts like that or have friends in real life who say that, then f*ck em and find some new friends. Use this page to connect with others in your area or search in your area for sober/sober curious meetups.

There are tons of moms who will support you in choosing not to drink a substance that adds no value to your life and does nothing but cause you anxiety, sadness, and guilt.

It also reminded me that progress is being made with the sober curious movement, but a lot of work still needs to be done. But I'm SO damn thankful that I decided to take a leap of faith and start this page because I want you to know you ARE NOT ALONE. You never are. ❀️

Removing alcohol alone didn't make me happy, but... By Alyson Premo

Removing alcohol alone didn't make me happy, but it led me down the path to eventually find the happiness that I was looking for at the bottom of the bottle but never found.

There's a misconception out there that once you remove alcohol, everything will be magical, and you'll be floating on cloud nine. I thought that too.

This is what I said, "Ok, I'm done with detox, now I'm going to wave my magic wand, and everything is going to be amazing. All my debts will be paid. All the people I had wronged were going to love me again. And I was going to be the mom of the year with all the activities I was going to do with my son."

Well, that never happened. πŸ˜‚

But removing alcohol was the first step to finally working on my past and issues that I used alcohol to cope with. It led me to work on myself to find the happiness I was looking for at the bottom of the bottle that I never found.

I guess the whole point of this post is to say I know that we are impatient and think things will change overnight, but it's a PROCESS. And the only way you're going even to have a chance to begin the work is by removing alcohol.

So pat yourself on the back for ditching alcohol, but remind yourself that this is only the beginning in finding the real you you've been suppressing for so long. And don't look at it as a daunting process; look at it as an opportunity to learn and grow. There is joy in this process, but it's on you to find it.

Are you having a hard time with not just removing the alcohol but all the underlying layers of why you ran to booze in the first place?

Mommy doesn't need wine because... By Alyson Premo

Mommy doesn't need wine because she now sees alcohol for what it truly is: a soul-sucking, life-draining, cancer-causing poison.

I mean, am I right, or am I right?

Who's eyes have been opened to the scam that is mommy wine culture?πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ Let's show Big Alcohol we're done being the brunt of their marketing campaign.

There will always be an excuse to why you can't stop drinking. By Alyson Premo.

There will always be a birthday, holiday, or social event that you can use as an excuse to why you can't stop drinking, so either challenge yourself now or keep pushing it off until you have no choice but to face your demons. 

Things I've heard...

"I'll start on New Year's because then the holiday season is over."

"I'll let myself slide when it comes to my birthday because it's a special occasion."

"I can't socialize without alcohol, so I'll allow myself one glass at the work event."

"I just won't drink around the kids."

Oh, my lord. There will always be an excuse. There will always be a reason why you'll let yourself slide if you're not truly committed. And that's ok. There's no shame in not being ready, but do you get where I'm going with this? 

YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO BE READY!

There is ALWAYS going to be a birthday, special occasion, or justification that you'll use for your drinking. For some of us, these justifications continue until we've experienced a horrific demise. From personal experience, I don't recommend waiting until that moment.

If you've gotten to the point where you're questioning your drinking, then you know deep down that there's no other reason to continue on this drinking path. If you continue to experience negative situations time and time again when you drink, then that's your sign that something needs to change. 

You can keep waiting - a year from now, 5 years from now, or 10 years from now, but eventually, you're going to have to deal with it, and the longer you wait, the worse it gets, and the more difficult it becomes to dig yourself out of the hole you've created. 

You miss out on moments with your kids.

You miss days being hungover in bed.

You miss connecting on a deeper level in relationships. 

You miss out on this one life we have, for what? A couple of minutes of relief?

I know it's uncomfortable to ditch a crutch you've relied on for years or even decades, but it'll be more uncomfortable the longer you tell yourself "you're fine".

So what's it going to be? Challenge yourself now and sit with the discomfort? Or keep pushing it off until you have no choice but to face your demons?

I hope you don't wait when "you're ready" because you'll be experiencing regret and guilt for not starting sooner. And that just adds another layer of sh*t you have to work through.
