Hiya Friend! In today's episode, I'm literally going to read you a classic story you might remember from your childhood: The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper. Now I know you might be asking yourself, "Why in the world are you reading us a story for children on a sobriety podcast Jess?" Don't fret, there's a purpose!
Okay... so you remember the story, yes? It was that fun, sweet tale where a train carrying toys and treats for good boys and girls breaks down. Three train engines decide to not help, each for their own reasons. Finally, a little blue engine comes along and helps. Well, friends, I re-read this story as an adult the other day and HOLY TOLEDO. The amazing themes and symbolism that you can pull from this story are worth talking about. So if it's alright with you, I'm going to read you the story on this episode! That way you can not only hear it, but you'll have the opportunity to also see how much of it can resemble our sober journeys. I hope you enjoy it!
One last thing...
Friend, do you feel like you’ve kicked the booze but are still experiencing that dreaded urge to pour a drink during that witching hour? I think we all can agree that we never regret NOT drinking, that we’re so RELIEVED to be off that gray-area-drinking merry go round… but man, how in the world are we going to move through the stressors and big emotions naturally?!
I want to invite you to consider doing a 60-minute Healthy Habit & Sobriety coaching session with me. Together we'll identify your stressors, the causes of your big emotions, and most importantly, we’ll customize an effective, practical, NEW self-care plan that helps you turn to healthy habits instead of drinking. If this sounds like something that could help you, please, please consider emailing me at: decidedlydry@gmail.com . I’d love to get to know you, get you on my calendar, and help you experience more JOY in sobriety. I'm only taking on a few clients at this time, so if this sounds like something that would benefit you, don't delay, sister!
xo,
Jess
Don't forget: if the only thing you did today was stay sober, you are winning!
