Break Free of the Status Quo
Read more: Break Free of the Status QuoI can’t say enough about the inspiration coming from Tama Kieves. She’s not a leader in the recovery movement (her partner is in long-term recovery, however) but she IS a leader in the movement of being who we truly are and all we can be. And the journey she is describing here applies so beautifully and…

Why I Don’t Drink …
Read more: Why I Don’t Drink …I’m the one at the bar nervously looking around if the server isn’t there right away to offer me my first drink or a refill. I’m the one who will have a glass before I go out to eat and drink. I’m the one who’s glass is always empty before everyone else’s. I’m the one…

Happy Fourth of July !
Read more: Happy Fourth of July !Just a few days away now from 3.5 years alcohol free. A great big empowering freedom. It’s maybe more than a little ironic that I used to regard freedom as the freedom to do what I wanted, and want I wanted to do was get ‘buzzed’ as often as I could. About 20 years ago,…

Celebrate Life this 4th of July
Read more: Celebrate Life this 4th of JulyHoliday weekends are always prime time for traffic fatalities caused by drunk driving and in the United States, July is the deadliest month. Sadly drunk driving kills someone every 48 minutes. This is something that came up a few times on my social media feeds yesterday: If you drink a fifth on the fourth, you…

That Voice
Read more: That VoiceIn the last few months of my long and illustrious drinking career, there was a voice that began to whisper melodically to me. I heard it’s song nightly near the end of the second bottle of wine. The voice was darkly magical, very seductive and beautiful, and I was luckily still present enough to find…

What is the Drawback of Taking a Break from the Booze?
Read more: What is the Drawback of Taking a Break from the Booze?This time last year, when I posted an invitation in The FIX for Dry July, I got a bit of criticism in the comments that was worth thinking through. One of the comments on our Dry July articles suggested that it was irresponsible to cheerlead the idea of taking a month off drinking because stopping and…

Join Us for Dry July
Read more: Join Us for Dry JulyWe’ve been told for years that drinking red wine and alcohol in general, can do everything from lower our risk of heart disease to help us control our weight. The recent reports that alcohol actually contributes to the development of 7 types of cancer has done little to hinder the marketing of wine and alcohol…

The Runaway Train
Read more: The Runaway TrainSo we start a little journey on a fun-looking train, not sure where its destination is but it looks cool and exciting. We get off at our designated stop to go home safe and sound. We get on this same train again and again. It takes us on a pleasant journey and we disembark as…

Uncovering my Untethered Soul
Read more: Uncovering my Untethered SoulA quote about sobriety hit me like a brick this week: “Success is never permanent and failure is never final. Keep your focus on staying the course.” My mind immediately went to all the stories and personalities I have encountered in the podcast world, where I spend at least an hour a day if not…

Top Ten Alcohol-Free Internet Entertainments
Read more: Top Ten Alcohol-Free Internet EntertainmentsThis top ten list came from a man who I’ll call Ted. Sometimes these lists are serious and informative and sometimes very funny, but I know that I would not have gotten through my first alcohol free year with style and a smile if it weren’t for Ted. 10.

“It was a random day of internet searching that brought me to Boozemusings Blog and to Boom Community, and my life has been changed by it. I needed some kind of “epiphany” for a mind change, and I have learned things about alcohol and its physical effects that have given me that kind of enlightenment. I check in several times a day and it is like meeting with my family. The resources here are incredible, and inexhaustible. I have quit lit books, etc. Will check out some of the other resources in others’ responses, but for me, Boom has been the answer. I feel it has to do with the tireless work of Boom’s creators. Thank you, Boom!!!!!!!”
