One of the quickest ways to determine if you have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol is to remember this phrase.

Alcohol is a problem when it causes problems. #dryjuly #quitdrinking #sobermovement #alcoholfree

[Recovery is the New Black @Michelle80Smith]

Stay focussed on your truth ✌️🏼💕

You know the truth about your drinking and its impact on your life. What other people think doesn’t matter. It can’t matter. This is your life, and you are saving it. #sober #soberlife #dryjuly #recoveryhumor

Where's this pink cloud everyone speaks of?! 🫠 #trustintheprocess #pinkcloud #justfortoday #earlysobriety #odaat

Secrets keep us sick, and shame has a way of taking us down faster than quicksand.

You’ve made a lifestyle choice to improve your quality of life, mental health, and self-worth.

Never apologize or shrink for doing what’s best for you!

@TheSoberWebb It keeps me alive. I'm a person who can't drink, or I die. Alcohol is the only thing I can't/won't/choose not to do, leaving endless possibilities of things I can. You can change a cucumber into a pickle, but you can’t turn a pickle back into a cucumber.

Mom's say all the time, ‘I’d die for my children.’ Okay, but would you live for them?

The moral of the story is kids need their mom in the morning. #sobermom #happymothersday2023 #MothersDay2023

Tonight, I'm ending my day with water, not wine. ✌️🏼💕 #alcoholfree #sobermom #odaat #sober

Addiction is not a spectator sport — everyone has to play. Each sip you take affects someone who loves you.

An apology isn’t necessary; removing alcohol from my life is the best thing that’s happened to me.

Cheers to @corona for joining the alcohol-free movement!

Even on your most challenging days in motherhood, the wine will never love you more than your kids do. #sobermom #mommyjuice #alcoholawareness

To think I drank because of them….

It’s bullcrap. A lie. A trap. A marketing ploy many of us get sucked into during our most vulnerable time in life — MOTHERHOOD. #AlcoholAwarenessMonth #SoberMom

April marks National Alcohol Awareness Month and is sponsored by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) to educate the masses about America’s #1 health problem: alcohol use disorder. #AlcoholAwarenessMonth

There might be barf flowing in the streets and none of it is ours! 🍀💚 #StPatricksDay2023 #SaintPatricksDay

Next time someone respectfully declines a drink, consider the following:

1. Ask them what do you enjoy drinking?
2. Have alternatives on hand and accessible.
3. Do not ask why.
4. Congratulate them and tell them you’re proud.

[Recovery is the New Black @Michelle80Smith]

Remember where that ONE DRINK took you last time.

If you struggle to keep your limit to one, its okay to have none. ✌🏼💕 #sober
