Think of this as your sober sidekick starter pack. Because let's be real: staying alcohol-free (or even just drinking less) isn't always about sheer willpower - it's about having the right tools when temptation sneaks in wearing a shiny little cocktail dress.

Hydration hero: Water bottle on standby like your loyal bodyguard.
Comfort snack stash: Because no one makes good choices while hangry.
Distraction devices: Podcasts, playlists, puzzles... basically anything that keeps your brain busy while the urge passes.
Accountability crew: The friends who text "You good?" instead of "Just one drink won't hurt."

The truth is, build a Sobriety Survival Kit is less about rules and more about setting yourself up to win before the Friday night FOMO hits. Because when you've got tools, triggers lose their power.

Inside our course Control or Quit, we go beyond the starter pack and help you create personalized strategies for the messy, real-life moments when cravings hit hardest. Come build your toolkit with us - you'll thank yourself at 11am on Saturday when you're sipping coffee instead of battling regret.

I was the Clinical Director at the top-ranked inpatient rehab in my state.
Now I run a private therapy practice that was voted Best of Addiction Services in my area.
Here’s what changed—and what I absolutely refuse to do anymore.

At the inpatient level, I had 28 days (if I was lucky).
Insurance dictated discharge dates!
Progress had to happen fast, whether someone’s nervous system or brain healing was ready or not.
So I had to push for insight on demand, breakthroughs on a timeline.

Today? I work with people at the pace of real change not dictated by a thrid party.

- Real healing isn’t linear.
- It doesn’t follow a reimbursement schedule.
- And it deserves better than red-tape recovery.

Let's clear this up: moderation ≠ abstinence.

Moderation = drinking with boundaries, intention, and accountability.
Abstinence = saying goodbye to alcohol completely, and is sometimes the cleanest path forward.

Neither is "better." The real question is: which one fits your life?

Inside the Control or Quit Course, you'll explore both paths and figure out what's realistic for YOU.

So tell me - what's one boundary or limit you'd like to start with?

They might call you 'boring,' but really... you're just THRIVING.

Well rested, hydrated, and clear-minded is the ultimate glow-up.

🌟 Keep choosing the kind of nights that make mornings better.

Here's the truth: if you don't give your brain a new path, it will run right back to the old one - every. single. time.

You can't just "think" your way out of a craving.
You have to move.
You have to act.
You have to replace.

❌ Remove a coping behavior without replacing it? Your system panics.
✅ Learn how to swap old habits with healthier ones that actually meet your needs.

Inside the Control or Quit course, we walk step by step through stress, social situations, boredom/loneliness, and emotional distress - matching triggers with powerful alternatives so you're not left stuck.

Don't let old patterns win by default. Join the course today and start building your new path forward. https://www.recoverycollectivemd.com/control-or-quit

Before becoming a therapist, Luke trained in physical healing. And if there’s one thing he learned?

🧠 Real recovery doesn’t come from staying comfortable.

Not in physical therapy.
Not in emotional healing.
Not in changing your relationship with alcohol.

Healing comes from the grit - the demanding reps, the honest reflection, the choice to keep showing up even when it’s uncomfortable.

You don’t need to do it perfectly.
But you do need to do it consistently.

👉 Just like a muscle that strengthens with effort, your emotional and behavioral change will come from action. From courage. From choosing what works, one step at a time.

Ready to stop waiting for the perfect time and start making progress?

Enroll in Control or Quit — our self-paced recovery course designed to help you reduce or stop drinking with practical tools and expert support.

Your brain’s first instinct in recovery? Fear and doubt.
But that doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means you’re human.

In this video, therapist and addiction specialist Luke DeBoy explains why fear is often the first emotion to surface in early sobriety, how your nervous system and past experiences feed that response, and most importantly, what you can do about it.

✔️ Understand the science behind fear-based thinking in recovery
✔️ Learn practical tools to move from survival mode to clarity
✔️ Receive a message of hope and encouragement for your journey

Whether you’re just starting to explore sobriety or deep into recovery, this video reminds you: feeling afraid does not mean you're failing. It means you're beginning to grow.

Staying sober is about more than just saying 'no' - it's about understanding the situations, emotions, and environments that make it harder to say 'yes' to yourself.

Common sobriety challenges often come from:
-Being in places or with people tied to past substance use
-Emotional stress or boredom
-Celebrations or parties without a support plan
-Romanticizing "the good old days"

Recognizing these triggers is the first step toward avoiding them or preparing for them with a solid plan. Sobriety is a daily choice, and it's okay to protect your peace by setting boundaries, changing routines, or leaning on your support system when those triggers arise.

If you're working on cutting back or staying sober, know that you're not alone. Recovery isn't a straight line - it's a path you walk one step, one choice, and one day at a time.

You don’t need to hit rock bottom to start questioning your relationship with alcohol.

🚩 Drinking more than you planned, again.
🚩 Feeling anxious, guilty, or regretful the next day.
🚩 Making rules… only to break them.
🚩 Drinking to cope with stress or boredom.
🚩 Getting defensive when someone brings it up.

Sound familiar?

These are just a few signs that alcohol might be playing a bigger role in your life than you’re comfortable with and that’s enough to explore a change.

✨ You deserve clarity. You deserve support. You deserve tools that actually help.

If you’re curious about cutting back or quitting, our self-paced course Control or Quit can help you make that shift on your terms.
