S2;E52: Daniele: Newly sober; newly diagnosed Autistic Son

Daniele, my dear friend from IG account @lifeonthefoxstrum, got sober when a friend voiced concerns about her drinking. Since that day, she has not looked back and I have had the pleasure of becoming close friends with her myself!

Being sober makes deal...

I chose to do something radical according to societal standards and better my life by abstaining from alcohol forever, one day at a time. It baffled me that I could never...

S2;E34 Letting Go Gave Me Power

Being told to “Let Go,” when in sobriety can often feel like we are giving up our power. In my experience, (and much to my surprise ) letting go actually gave me MORE power. Listen to how that worked.
