Spent way too long trying to post my Instagram reel here. No music. Spacing’s off. Facebook reels are still a mystery to me 🤷🏽‍♀️ So for now… enjoy this post as-is 😅 Follow me on IG @kplamberth if you want to see the cuter version with music and better vibes New to sobriety? Here’s what helped me make it 1 year, 16 days {& counting} ✨ 1. Start with God. This wasn’t meant to be done alone. Ask Him to carry what you can’t. Surrender isn’t weakness, it’s the beginning of freedom. 2. Recovery comes first. Always. One thing I learned in treatment: “Whatever you put before your recovery is the second thing you’ll lose.” If it comes before sobriety, you’ll lose both. 3. Change people, places & things. If the same route you drive home takes you past your old ABC store? Take the long way home. Seriously — turn up the music and give yourself a detour. Protect your peace before you have to fight for it. 4. Learn the truth about alcohol. This isn’t just about willpower—it’s about brain science. Understand the science. How it hijacks your brain. Learn about dopamine, cravings, patterns, triggers. It takes the shame out and gives you power back. Knowledge = power. Power = freedom. 5. Find your people. Your inner circle may love you… but they might not get this part. You need someone who’s walked through it. (Need a buddy? I’m a good one. 👀) 6. Romanticize the normal. Slow mornings. Coffee in your favorite cup. Clean laundry. Sober doesn’t mean boring—it means clear. Peaceful. Beautiful. 7. Plan ahead. • Get gas before White Claw o’clock 🙃 • Keep your fridge stocked with “safe” drinks - and take them with you to events that may have alcohol (if you’re comfortable going) • Grocery shop with a friend • Avoid people who tempt you Stay one step ahead of your triggers. Be intentional. 8. Journal. Pray. Feel. Write it out. Talk to God. Don’t wait for a crisis. Awareness is what keeps you rooted—check in even when things feel okay. 9. Gratitude. Every single day. Not just for the big wins, but for the tiny ones, too. The ones no one sees. And finally… You can do everything right and still have hard moments. There will be triggers. Life will still life. But cravings pass. Feelings pass. God stays. When in doubt? Do the next right thing. I’m rooting for you. 🕊️🤍 #mysoberjourney #sober #SoberCurious #AlcoholFreeLife #Alcoholfree #FaithBasedRecovery
