"Let's talk about sex, baby!" 🎤🎶

After alcohol is out of the picture, many of us need to rediscover how we can be intimate with our partners (existing or new).

Dropping the Desire

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 12:00:04 GMT

Today, we discuss the 3rd pillar of the 'Freedom From Alcohol' coaching program: Reframing.

It is so important to reframe the way you think about drinking, in order to drop the desire for it.

Society has really conditioned us to think that drinking is acceptable.

It is up to us to shed the lies & illusions that alcohol imposes on us, in order to live a life that is truly free from alcohol (that is - a life where you no longer desire alcohol).

Input Create Outputs: Be the Guardian of Your Mind

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 11:00:03 GMT

"You have the power over your mind - not outside events. Realise this, and you will find strength".

- Marcus Aurelius

Have you ever stopped to reflect on what forms of input you are choosing (or allowing) into your mind?

Real crime podcasts, sensationalized news, pervasive sexual imagery, polarizing political discussions...everything you read, listen to or watch accumulates in your conscious and subconscious.

We also talk about how your environment (including who you hang out with) can deeply affect your outlook in life, as well.

Victim Mentality

Tue, 06 Aug 2024 11:00:20 GMT

Victim Mentality:

an acquired personality trait in which a person tends to recognize or consider themselves a victim of the negative actions of others, contrary to the evidence of such circumstances.

The opposite of victim mentality is accountability.

Accountability:

your circumstances may not be your fault, they are your responsibility. That doesn’t mean that you caused it.

It means that you have the ability to respond to your circumstances and change the outcome.

Threshold Moments

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 11:00:03 GMT

When it's time to end our drinking careers, we all have our "threshold moments" - those moments of clarity where we realize where we've crossed a line, and there is no going back.

For some, it may be desribed as a 'rock bottom moment', for others it may show up as a spiritual shift within oneself, for others it may be something your child or partner says to you...

We discuss what our threshold moments were, and how they echo into our current states of non-drinkerdom.

Moderation

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 11:00:58 GMT

Moderation.

That word can send shivers up the spine of drinkers who believe they can have 'just one', those who have attempted numerous times to limit how much they drink, and those who hold out hope they can one day drink like a 'normal' person.

The thing about moderation is that after you reach a certain point in your drinking career, moderation becomes impossible.

And, really...why would you want to hold out hope that you can still pour poison down your throat?

Chris & Matt talk passionately about their own experineces with moderation attempts, as well as why they beleive moderation is not really an option for heavy drinkers.

Relapses

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 11:00:30 GMT

Today we talk about relapses, or 'slip-ups' or whatever you may refer to them as.

Although it is beneficial to have the 100% all-in mentality when it comes to being alcohol-free, it is also important to have a plan if/when you do have a slip-up.

The REAL Cost of Alcohol

Tue, 11 Jun 2024 11:00:16 GMT

What is the REAL cost of alcohol?

Aside from the money you set aside each month for the drinks, themselves, what about the late night food purchases, the taxi rides, the DWI's, the lost money, the lost wallets and IDs and on and on...

Not to mention the cost of your own physical and mental health.

The cost of alcoholism to USA is $250 billion dollars annually!

Just Have One

Tue, 21 May 2024 13:31:32 GMT

"I can just have one drink" is like saying "I can just take one step into quicksand."

One common challenge we face in our Alcohol-Free Journey is when that voice inside your head says something to the effect of "I'll bet I can have 1 drink tonight" or "1 drink won't kill me..."

We discuss our experience with this thought, as well as how to deal with it when it does come up.

Dealing with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 11:00:43 GMT

Today, we discuss the topic of FOMO ("fear of missing out") in sobriety.

Here are some potential strategies for dealing with FOMO:

Find Sober Activities: Seek out social activities and hobbies that don't involve alcohol. Engaging in alternative forms of recreation can help fill the void left by alcohol-related events.
Build a Support System: Surround yourself with friends and support groups that are understanding and supportive of your decision to quit alcohol. These connections can help alleviate feelings of isolation and FOMO.
Educate Yourself: Learn about the health benefits of sobriety and the potential risks associated with alcohol consumption. Understanding the reasons behind your decision to quit can reinforce your commitment.
Practice Self-Care: Focus on self-improvement and self-care. Sobriety can provide the opportunity to work on personal goals and well-being.
Limit Social Media Exposure: If social media triggers feelings of FOMO, consider reducing your exposure to alcohol-related content or unfollowing accounts that promote excessive drinking.
Seek Professional Help: If FOMO or alcohol cravings become overwhelming, consider seeking support from a therapist or counselor with experience in addiction and recovery.

Ultimately, quitting alcohol is a HUGE positive & a life-changing decision, and addressing FOMO is part of the process of adapting to a sober lifestyle.

Over time, you'll find that you can enjoy fulfilling and meaningful experiences without alcohol... and that the benefits of sobriety far outweigh any *perceived* missed opportunities!

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 11:00:05 GMT

This is totally normal.

In fact, there is a term for this: The Pink Cloud Syndrome (Google it).

Dropping The Desire

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 19:45:55 GMT

Today, we discuss the 3rd pillar of the 'Freedom From Alcohol' coaching program: Reframing.

It is so important to reframe the way you think about drinking, in order to drop the desire for it.

Society has really conditioned us to think that drinking is acceptable.

It is up to us to shed the lies & illusions that alcohol imposes on us, in order to live a life that is truly free from alcohol (that is - a life where you no longer desire alcohol).

Victim Mentality

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 20:28:18 GMT

Victim Mentality:

an acquired personality trait in which a person tends to recognize or consider themselves a victim of the negative actions of others, contrary to the evidence of such circumstances.

The opposite of victim mentality is accountability.

Accountability:

your circumstances may not be your fault, they are your responsibility. That doesn’t mean that you caused it.

It means that you have the ability to respond to your circumstances and change the outcome.

Moderation

Thu, 26 Oct 2023 21:08:40 GMT

Moderation.

The thing about moderation is that after you reach a certain point in your drinking career, moderation becomes impossible.

And, really...why would you want to hold out hope that you can still pour poison down your throat?

Chris & Matt talk passionately about their own experineces with moderation attempts, as well as why they beleive moderation is not really an option for heavy drinkers.

Threshold Moments

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 17:00:02 GMT

When it's time to end our drinking careers, we all have our "threshold moments" - those moments of clarity where we realize where we've crossed a line, and there is no going back.

For some, it may be desribed as a 'rock bottom moment', for others it may show up as a spiritual shift within oneself, for others it may be something your child or partner says to you...

We discuss what our threshold moments were, and how they echo into our current states of non-drinkerdom.

Just Have One

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 18:07:44 GMT

"I can just have one drink" is like saying "I can just take one step into quicksand."

One common challenge we face in our Alcohol-Free Journey is when that voice inside your head says something to the effect of "I'll bet I can have 1 drink tonight" or "1 drink won't kill me..."

We discuss our experience with this thought, as well as how to deal with it when it does come up.

Dealing with FOMO

Thu, 07 Sep 2023 17:48:29 GMT

Today, we discuss the topic of FOMO ("fear of missing out") in sobriety.

👉https://book.coachbychris.com/freedom-og

👉JOIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/iwantfreedomfromalcohol

Here are some potential strategies for dealing with FOMO:

Find Sober Activities: Seek out social activities and hobbies that don't involve alcohol. Engaging in alternative forms of recreation can help fill the void left by alcohol-related events.
Build a Support System: Surround yourself with friends and support groups that are understanding and supportive of your decision to quit alcohol. These connections can help alleviate feelings of isolation and FOMO.
Educate Yourself: Learn about the health benefits of sobriety and the potential risks associated with alcohol consumption. Understanding the reasons behind your decision to quit can reinforce your commitment.
Practice Self-Care: Focus on self-improvement and self-care. Sobriety can provide the opportunity to work on personal goals and well-being.
Limit Social Media Exposure: If social media triggers feelings of FOMO, consider reducing your exposure to alcohol-related content or unfollowing accounts that promote excessive drinking.
Seek Professional Help: If FOMO or alcohol cravings become overwhelming, consider seeking support from a therapist or counselor with experience in addiction and recovery.

Ultimately, quitting alcohol is a HUGE positive & a life-changing decision, and addressing FOMO is part of the process of adapting to a sober lifestyle.

Over time, you'll find that you can enjoy fulfilling and meaningful experiences without alcohol... and that the benefits of sobriety far outweigh any *perceived* missed opportunities!
