My friend told me about Casey’s 30-Day Sober Guide To Quitting Drinking and I immediately clicked and downloaded it.
Reading Casey’s 30-Day Sober Guide was like accessing a friend, someone who was saying, “Hey, I’ve been here before and this is what helped me. I know it will help you too!”
The fact that each tip had an explanation and was written in the first person made me feel like I was having an actual conversation with Casey.
I was saying things like, “Yeah, you’re right!” And when I got to tip 10 I thought to myself, “Hell yeah, ice cream!” I never ate ice cream when I was drinking because I was allocating calories for wine.
The same night I downloaded the guide I read through all 30 tips, I followed Casey’s advice.
- I made my list of things that made me happy
- I made a list of podcasts and books to listen to and read
- I reached out to my team of cheerleaders and support
- And I set my start date and got rocking.
I am the kind of girl who wants to gather as much support, information and knowledge before I do anything, because as a Type A personality if I say I’m going to do something you better believe I’m gonna do it, follow through and cannonball at the end of it!
I’ve taken breaks from drinking in the past. The difference is that each time I did that I only had willpower to get me through.
This time I had support, knowledge and a plan for success!
I’m 35 days in and couldn’t be happier with my choice!
I love Casey’s podcasts, I feel like she is speaking my own story half the time, and I’ve dived into quit lit and am loving it!
I truly feel that the podcast and books recommended have been my daily support and have made this journey so much easier than I thought it would be.
