Hi All, it’s been awhile! I love the idea of Recovery Capital - that any time you spend sober or even moving towards sobriety, is never lost. You can begin again, you can build on your strength, you can give future you the gift of sobriety.

In his fourth book of well-loved quotes, Jeff Brown delivers his most compelling message yet: the power of love, friendship, and healing. In his notoriously candid style, Jeff dazzles us with poignant, intimate, and insightful heartspeak. His wisdom and word wizardry encompass all forms of relati...

Yesterday’s sunrise. Next (somewhat delayed) That Sober Couple Podcast episode is LOVE.

So of course, here we are being lovey.

And sober! Which is a big part of why we could be lovey at 5:30 in the morning…

We took to the streets and will keep doing so in support of people’s right to abortion.

We talk about navigating stressful and triggering situations and how sober sayings and mantras can help.

You are not alone. There is nothing in your life that will be made better by you taking a drink. Time takes time.

What’s your favorite sober saying? Comment below:

Hear how my partner royally f’ed up our first Valentine’s Day and how our sobriety helps us learn to do conflict (more) like grown ups.

Happy Solstice! Early. Cold. Glorious.

Are you tired of struggling with not drinking?

How are you supposed to get on with life and finally feel good if you stop and then start again, feeling worse every time. 😱

Is it actually possible to get past the stopping/starting cycle without becoming boring, lonely and always thinking about it?! 🤯

I bet you’ve tried things like 21 Day Cleanses, Dry January, maybe even AA... And nothing has quite worked for you, right?

How do you find the ⏰ TIME ⏰ to learn to meditate, overcome past traumas, make new friends, learn to set boundaries, make new daily routines… if you're busy in your life, family and work?

How do you justify spending money on programs or retreats if you barely use what you’ve learned once the event or program is over?

😨 Why's it so nerve-racking to ‘be happily sober’?

Is the constant battle to stop the struggle and feel good without drinking really worth it?

Can you really get free from the dark shadow of drinking/not drinking without becoming a patient, a label or constantly feeling bad about yourself.

🤔 And when should you ask for help?

🤔 Should you even stop on your own?

🤔 Are you doing meetings? How often?

🤔 What about reading self-help books?

STOP. JUST STOP. 🤯

If any (or all) of the above questions run through your head… day after day… I will be able to help.

Hey, it's Lisa Twombly here, Health and Recovery Coach and Sober Woman 👋

And, while I don't claim to know it all, I HAVE helped women transform their sobriety & life by creating a real life action plan that is Woman-Centered Sobriety. They call themselves BOSS Sober Sisters 💪

And yet…

Not that long ago, I was in your shoes.

Those early days were rough.

I'd take a step forward only to take three more back. I was drowning in shame, disappointment in myself for all the times I’d tried and failed to stop drinking, or stopped but still felt stuck, and mostly in fear of all that might happen if I couldn’t stay stopped once and for all.

Anyways, if that's kinda how you feel right now...

Let me give you a road map, so that you stop hitting dead ends or getting lost on back roads, and instead take the clear road to happy and lasting sobriety that you can be proud of.

Let me show you YOUR Happier Sober Ever After 💪

👇 Here is what I’m proposing. 👇

I’ve had a TON of women who struggle with finding THEIR happily sober ever after reach out to me asking for my help.

So I had this BIG idea to build a Woman-Centered Sobriety Action Plan to guide you from feeling stuck, lonely and tired of the struggle to living YOUR Happier Sober Ever After in 6 weeks..

No fluff. No messing around, just a simple plan to take you from stuck and lonely to feeling free and good about yourself.

With Love and Sobriety,

Sober Sunset on a Saturday Night.

So grateful to not need a drink. It’s a miracle I’m thankful every day that life feels best to me without alcohol, without needing to escape.

Learning to love my life sober did not happen overnight or without help.

Find your people. I still say this to other women and to myself all the time. Find your people.

With Love and Sobriety,
Lisa

Super excited to be spending this Sober Sunday afternoon with my partner in life and on That Sober Couple Podcast, Jon Picard.

As we get close to launch - currently, as in right this very moment! figuring out how to put the music under the trailer - we’re excited to share our banter, chitchat, TedTalk monologues (those would be all me) about all things sobriety in our relationship.

Seeds of Sobriety Spring Retreat for women. March 21-23 at NOON EST

02/26/2022

Sober Sunset. It was beautiful and too cold to stay out very long, but we needed to get out for some fresh air. It all seems so simple these days. Go see the beautiful, free light show down the street, holding hands with your person, come home before you have frostbite and eat a bowl of chili (that didn’t burn because you remembered to turn it down before leaving and came home without a “quick” side trip to the bar), and now all warm and snuggling down for tea and video games until it’s time to drive across town - yes, I can do that without getting arrested or worse, cause sober - when my teen son needs a ride home. I’ll be present to ask him if he had fun, got to play cards. I know who he was with and where. And I will fall asleep instead of passing out. Golden. Thanks, sobriety ❤️💐🌟

You feel better when you don't drink
You know you want to stop

AND

You keep ending up drinking.

If we both feel you are a good fit for Better Off Sober System, we can talk about that, too.
