Ep. 142: How To Make Sobriety Stick

How many times have you told yourself that you were going to stop drinking? I did it hundreds of times. 

Sometimes I’d rationalize drinking again that very night, but often I’d go 4 days, a week or even 2 weeks alcohol-free before I’d decide that I deserved “just a glass” on a Friday night. 

Stopping drinking is hard, but making sobriety stick is also difficult. You might have decided to stop drinking because of a particularly brutal hangover, an embarrassing night or a slow decline into feeling worse and worse due to your alcohol consumption. 

Initially, the reason you want to remove alcohol in your life is clear and present, which keeps your willpower strong and motivation high. 

But how do you stay on the alcohol-free path when you get bogged down in the day-to-day realities and responsibilities of life and alcohol is your go-to coping mechanism? 

The easiest way to make sobriety stick is to create a vision board. I created my first vision board in early sobriety and it helped me stay centered on the reasons I wanted to be alcohol-free long after my initial motivation and willpower faded. 

Today on the podcast I’m sharing why vision boards are a powerful tool in sobriety and how to create one that will support you in staying on the alcohol-free path.
