66 Days Sober Challenge - Day 14

This is a series of 66 mini podcasts - to support you through a 66 day alcohol free challenge.

The challenge lasts for 66 days because that's how long it takes to change a habit.  

We have published an e-book called "66 days to sobriety" (available on our website https://www.tribesober.com) - this book contains 66 pages of tips, tools and motivation so I will read a page a day for these mini podcasts.

I will also update you on the healing taking place in your body and mind as you progress through the 66 days.

 

Managing Emotions 
 

Are you feeling a bit more emotional than usual during your break from alcohol?
 

One of the things I had to learn as an “ex drinker” was that when I have uncomfortable emotions I need to “sit with them” rather than chase them away with a glass (or three) of Sauvignon Blanc.

 

This took a bit of getting used to but now I realize that if I feel depressed then it’s not the end of the world and the chances are that in a day or two I will feel absolutely fine again.

 

I also find it helps to focus on one of my favourite quotes which never fails to bring me perspective:-

 

Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her own life

 

Viktor Frankl
