Oh, my loves, all of THIS 💖 You know I was reduced to ashes, and it was deciding to be true to what my soul craved that restored me. I knew to be free I would have to find another way. That required willingness, curiosity, courage, audacity, tenacity and a desire for truth & freedom. What do you crave more than choosing to go through life uncomfortably numb? #whollysober #beforeyoudrinkthinkpink #possibilities #intentions #neuroplasticity #kindness #alcoholcoach #30daysofyes #exploresober #soberfreedom #pinkcloudcoaching #egofriendly #whatdoyouwant #becoming https://www.instagram.com/p/CNp6azTDxJC/?igshid=c3r64hv2p3mw

18 years ago I made a decision to live without relying on alcohol to soothe the pain of broken promises, forgotten dreams, and abandoning myself for what I was supposed to do and be. ✨ I stopped thinking about drinking (or not drinking) and turned my focus and energy on who I wished to become. ✨ I reconnected to me. 💖 . #beforeyoudrinkthinkpink . PS this is a sneak peek of what’s to come 7/1 😄💖✨ (at Teresa Rodden Pink Cloud Coaching) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL9o3bXpmJi/?igshid=xxl37bg2w0f6

”A strong woman knows she has strength enough for the journey, but a woman of strength knows it's on the journey that she will be strong.” .

And then I decided to live... . #whollysober (at Teresa Rodden Pink Cloud Coaching) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH3b2njDLcT/?igshid=mriycn6mznho

Ahhh, never compromise. It will create havoc in your soul. It got me drunk for more than twenty years and left me wanting to die. . Alcohol is not the only way to cope and crash when experiencing pain in your soul. . #whollysober https://www.instagram.com/p/CHwM9QhDkzY/?igshid=z4qvy9th2e4o

SOBER . Feeling unbelievably blessed. Over the last few days I have received several calls from friends. Each wanting to chat about something they're working through. . I feel blessed that I was available for each of their calls. . I feel blessed that I am someone they trust to listen and support them. . I feel blessed because they know when they call me, they'll get the truth and not platitudes. . I feel blessed that we tell each other, ”I love you, ” before ending the call. . It feels good to love and be loved. . Most of my life, I was cold, disconnected, and lonely. I didn't trust people and kept them at a safe distance. . When I got sober, I decided to take a risk and let love in. I remember making that conscious choice to no longer resist what was innate--love. . I've never regretted it in the last seventeen years. . Friends are the sprinkles on the cupcake of life. ❤️🥰🤗 and I love sprinkles . #sober #lifecoach #sober #author #advocate #soberfreedom #sobernotabstinence #whollysober #theprimeddrinker #primednotalcoholic https://www.instagram.com/p/CBl9B2fj7Sg/?igshid=1o94shxc0rf1g

We are PRIMED to believe a hard to break drinking habit is a chronic brain disease, and the traditional recovery protocol of AA and Twelve Steps are the only way to manage the disease. . Priming is a process of conditioning your thoughts and expectations that shape your beliefs. . You can purposely PRIME with awareness and intention, or you can be primed. Your choice. YOU ARE NOT POWERLESS. . #theprimeddrinker #rethinkingrecovery #author #breakinghabits #soberfreedom https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYaxEzjob_/?igshid=4421p7t7mxfr

Who in my connections have taken charge of misusing drugs or alcohol by either learning to moderate or abstain without the traditional protocol of AA, Twelve Steps, and believing you have a chronic brain disease? . I would love to chat with you about a project I initiated ten years ago with Oprah. .

”Do we, as a society, have an addiction to recovery tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous, Twelve Steps, and believing all drinking problems are due to a disease?” . Read to learn: . The systematic process that is activated with a mere mention of alcohol or drug use concern. . How neuroscience describes the concern with logic. . Why do we rely on recovery tradition that expects failure and is never ending? . https://link.medium.com/oUuleWE7w5 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-2yKuWDOGv/?igshid=z0a0fubqilk7

How are you balancing concerns, doubt, fear, boredom with #stayathome #covid19 . I've noticed besides a couple momentary lashouts I am focusing on how to make the most out of everything and do things I've never done. . As I shared in a private Facebook group, #soberexplorers, I am practicing curiosity and exploring. . What else do I not know about me? . So, I baked this banana nut with crumble for my hubby this morning. It looks delicious and smells divine. . But this is just the tip of the iceberg. . I am redesigning my business. . I've deleted #facebook from my phone . And I am rearranging my priorities. . Who will you be when we emerge through this #pandemic . #pinkcloudcoaching #itsnotaboutthealcohol #soberfreedom #alcoholicsanonymous #notwelvesteps #rethinkingrecovery #igotthis #itsmylife https://www.instagram.com/p/B-rzPauDedf/?igshid=1f3hg45nob7dn
