Getting Back to Sober When You Slip
Read more: Getting Back to Sober When You SlipSometimes people take a break from drinking, drink again, and then have an awful time getting back on track. Relapse may feel like the right word to you or it may feel overly dramatic but I know from my own experience after being sober nine months in both of my pregnancies that when I started…

A Burning Desire
Read more: A Burning DesireAlcohol is not controllable for me like the fireplace fire contained in a box. Alcohol for me is a raging forest fire. If I drink again it may start slowly, it may begin to burn in a straight line that looks like it will follow a predictable path but inevitably it will become an all…

I am Free !
Read more: I am Free !2018 was my first full year of sobriety. Do I need perfect? What is perfect? My life is far from perfect but that’s ok. I’ve learnt to feel and not numb. I used to numb and not feel. That wasn’t perfect either. I’ve gained confidence, I know that much. I’ve chosen my battles. My response…

9 Years Sparklingly Sober – Becoming Winged Victory
Read more: 9 Years Sparklingly Sober – Becoming Winged VictoryI struggled for years with the question, “Am I an alcoholic?”. During those years, I tried and tried again to control my drinking, but would find myself reaching for the “reward” of a glass or two of wine night after night. Those two glasses led to a bottle, a bottle and a half, or more,…

It’s in Your Hands
Read more: It’s in Your HandsBeouf Hache or Through the Mincer : That’s what I’ve been doing to myself for the past few months. Cutting myself up into tiny little pieces then feeding them through the mincer. Sometimes, it’s an electric mincer, but mostly it’s an ancient hand mixer. The electric mincer is fast and messy. The hand mincer churns…

Selling the Possibility of Loving Life Sober
Read more: Selling the Possibility of Loving Life SoberDrinking alcohol has been sold to us as the elixir of life since we were young children… I ‘m not buying it anymore and haven’t for a long time.

Why We Need Each Other: Perspective From My First Sober Christmas
Read more: Why We Need Each Other: Perspective From My First Sober ChristmasFor all of the many reasons that drinking is glorified, if you want to stop drinking or slow down, you will likely need support, because it’s not just our culture that bullies us to drink; it is also the liquid in the glass.

You Have to Have Faith
Read more: You Have to Have FaithWhen I stopped drinking, I thought that life was going to become blah. I thought that I was going to become a rather dull, uninspired individual and I honestly had no idea how I was going to get from 5 pm to 10 pm without pouring a couple of bottles of wine all over my…

Thought for the Day
Read more: Thought for the DayWhether you’re on the beach in the sweltering heat in Australia or bundled up in the snow in the north the booze is wrapped in gold paper with a bow on top and it’s most likely 25% off ” such a deal!” NOTHING sells like booze in December.

Lying : the Fuel that Feeds Addiction
Read more: Lying : the Fuel that Feeds AddictionWhen I was pregnant I did not drink a drop but I did continue to smoke a bit. There was no way I would take the chance of getting my babies drunk and risk that they’d miss some aspect of brain development but I managed to talk myself into three cigarettes a day. Just enough…

“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!!!!!!!”
