OMG we had the best time talking to our friend Simon Chapple, founder of @besoberandquit and author of The Sober Survival Guide about life since sobriety. We discuss his work with Annie Grace and @thisnakedmind including his live talks in Denver, his recent talk at @joinclubsoda Mindful Drinking Festival and being vulnerable, along with a whole host of juicy topics from parenthood from a male perspective to #ADHD to sober sex – don't know how we got onto that! Nothing was off limits in this conversation! The link is in our bio. Thank you Simon for your honesty and of course taking the time out of your mega busy schedule to talk to us, it’s always so much fun 💓

It’s so easy to start comparing ourselves to others especially if your an Instagram addict like us 😂 Your journey is just that ‘yours’ and although it is truly inspiring following other accounts be careful that you don’t start comparing yourself! However you are feeling today is your real, if you are sober today, you are smashing it and we are so proud of you! if you need any help, encouragement please drop us a message it’s what we are here for! Take good care of yourselves 💕

“A friend is someone who makes it easy to believe in yourself.” This picture makes me laugh, I just know that Alex would have been telling me to do something I was mega uncomfortable with, I’ve seen this face a lot over the years, we’ve always done this to each other! The difference is now that we do it for different reasons, we don’t try to ruin each other’s lives because we are pissed and have conveniently forgotten about all our responsibilities. Everything we do now is because we genuinely want the best for each other, we push each other for all the right reasons! When I first stopped drinking I never in a million years thought it would be forever never mind that I would be lucky enough to share this amazing journey with my life long bestie! Do you have a sober bestie? Tag them in and tell us all about it 💕

Out today! Give this one a listen! Not only is @notsosecretlysober amazing, but we are also proud to call her our friend! She’s so inspiring and if anyone knows how to have a good time sober - she does! Thanks so much for being on our podcast Siobhan x x

Happy Valentines Y’all 💕 What a perfect day to practice loving yourself, appreciating yourself, respecting yourself and taking good care of yourself! You are your most precious possession please don’t forget it 💕

It’s book recommendation time..... this one is especially good for those just starting out on their sober journey! Written by our beautiful friend Julia Carson aka @soberpositive - this book is a must have for the sobriety library!
