#Trending Series: Pt 3: “California Sober”

California Sober is like being semi-sober. It’s trading one substance for another…for example, I’m not doing opioids anymore but I’m drinking alcohol. I’m sober, but I smoke pot. I’m sober but I take pain pills.  Join Mike and Glenn in the coffee shop as they discuss this #trending topic and why it all comes down to this: how do you define sober?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING #GratitudeinAction

Holidays are loaded with stress, so grab a drink. No, not alcohol. Soda, coffee, tea – anything that gets your mind off what others are drinking. That’s the first tip for newly sober individuals going into family situations this Thanksgiving. Mike and Glenn share more tips and talk about their favorite holiday memories before alcoholism, their worst holiday memories, and what it looks like now in sobriety.

#Trending Series: Pt 2: Mindful Drinking

Mindful drinking increases awareness and avoids crashing the plane. How? By being aware of why and how much you drink. It’s like keeping score. Mike tells us his score is something like “Drinks: 7353 vs Mike: 0” But admittedly you don’t have to get to the point where you lose everything or hit rock bottom and pay the ultimate consequences to pay attention to drinking.

In this episode you’ll learn mindful drinking is:

  • Pausing and evaluating each drink. 
  • Making a drinking or alternative game plan. 
  • Ordering first because it’s easy to order a beer, but if someone before you orders a shot, it’s hard to NOT order a shot. 
  • Rehearsing what you’re going to say and saying it out loud until you are comfortable with it. 
  • If you have a drink, don’t pound them, savor one.

“Are you a Trustee?” “I don’t even know what that is.”

The guys discuss why the accurate geographic representation of hot sauce is imperative, how placing the low bid on an island can really impress the ladies, when the wrong Picante Sauce results in a justified homicide, and what constitutes a “marine grade” bike rental.

It All Starts with a Decision

Episode #12 – In a world of uncertainty, be the light that shines through to better outcomes. Making changes or shifts for ourselves can feel daunting, lonely, and like we will never get to the other side, but I promise you it doesn’t have to be that way. You are always one decision away from something new, exciting, freeing, or a whole host of other feelings. Will you simply get the motivation to do it, ride the wave, and crash? Or will you implement changes that will move you through to where you want to go. No matter how minute or monumental the shifts you want to make in life are…this episode will help ignite the fire within you and move you to doing MORE than just getting motivated, but by taking strategic action. No matter how big or small your goals are or if you just want to improve your daily life for the better, this episode will give some insight on how to do just that. Your self help journey doesn’t have to be alone, I am here right alongside you!
