Time stands still for no one. . I was watching a program last night, and this guy was carried to his bed to sleep off a lot of booze. . I think this was a one-off for him, meaning this was not his usual behavior. . But it showed how life was carrying on in the middle of the day while he was sleeping it off. . It got me to thinking how many of us do this regularly and purposely opt out of life. . We forfeit our time to live. . I don’t think a lot of us really think about it like that. We kind of try not to think I about it at all. . But I want you to think about it. I want you to face the truth. I want you to decide to be intentional and live your life on purpose with purpose. . This is not to scare you or guilt you. This is me sharing love for you. . You have a choice. . Wake up and live or shortchange yourself and exist uncomfortably numb. . It’s a choice! . #pinkcloudcoaching #soberrevolution #soberbychoice #sobernotabstinence #soberisfreedom #lifecoachforwomen #author #sobertime #whollysober #itsnotaboutthealcohol https://www.instagram.com/p/B81fV92phFL/?igshid=2oas7vvu4z3c

This is a post from the FACEBOOK group #soberrevolutionaries . My little man and I had a long night. . I just took this picture checking on him, 11:00 am. . Byren is my grandson. I would have never dreamt I would be the amazing grandmother I am. . In my teens I didn’t want children. I was pregnant at seventeen with my first son. . In my twenties I was a great provider and law enforcer to my sons. My ex couldn’t keep a job so he was basically the stay at home dad and used “I’m going to tell your mom,” all the time. Even long after our divorce. . In my thirties, my burnout and heart break led to misusing alcohol extraordinarily well. My new normal, living uncomfortably numb, left me vulnerable to a man who promised to take care of me and EVERYTHING. . Within two years I no longer wanted to wake up. . When I quit drinking long enough I became sober. . Not misusing alcohol or abstinence does not make you sober. . Sober is being calm, clear headed, steadfast, intentional, responsible, in-purpose, cool, self-possessed. . When you are sober you are available to life’s most meaningful and precious moments. Like caring for your sick grand baby with tenderness, love, and patience. . I do life with sober intentions. . Recovery is not needed to live sober. Sober is not about being abstinent. . How are you living sober intentional? . #soberrevolution #soberlifestyle #soberbychoice #sobernotrecovery #sobernotabstinent #author #soberrevolutionist #whollysober #holysober #theprimeddrinker #soberrevolutionaries (at Pink Cloud Coaching, Sober Revolution) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5QmwxHpvnk/?igshid=urwwo8c8tpqb

🔹️14🔹️ ...I have made it *FOURTEEN* days without using a single drop of alcohol to "destress" or "relax" or whatever else excuse(s) I was coming up with... And I am DAMN proud of myself. 💖 》 I want to clear something up- I am SOBER BY PERSONAL CHOICE. No one asked me to stop drinking. No one told me I had a problem. I am not on probation, I am not being FORCED to be sober... I'm doing this because ME, MY HEALTH & I want to! 😍 》 In the last two weeks I've learned that if I get mad, or frustrated, or annoyed, I can always just do some crunches to let that out... & if I'm bored, I can do some laundry or read a book... what I mean is, I've noticed all of the "gaps" in my time or moments where I have the urge to grab a drink, and I'm so SO SO SO proud of myself for CHOOSING to do something ELSE! 》 #twoweeks #soberbychoice #soberaf #motherhustler #mentalheathmatters #mentalitymatters #offersupport #notadrink #sparklingwineformeplease #soberforchristmas https://www.instagram.com/p/Brs1I1GnYsH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12d38ezyo6teq
