  • When Family Triggers You in Sobriety: How to Stay Sane, Set Boundaries, and Protect Your Peace

    When Family Triggers You in Sobriety: How to Stay Sane, Set Boundaries, and Protect Your Peace
    May 21 2025
    Do you feel like your sobriety gets harder the second a family event hits the calendar? You’re not imagining it—family is one of the most powerful and underestimated sobriety triggers. The roles, the judgment, the pressure to be “fine”—it all adds up to stress, emotional regression, and the urge to escape. In this episode, we break down why family triggers hit so hard (even years into recovery), how your nervous system gets hijacked by old conditioning, and what to do before, during, and after those emotionally loaded moments. You’ll learn how to: Spot mental, emotional, and social triggers early Set boundaries without guilt or people-pleasing Create an exit plan that protects your peace Use real-life tools to reset your energy and stay grounded Plus, I’ll share my own experience with family dysfunction and how I use a simple strategy I call “Don’t poke the bear” to keep my sobriety strong—especially when emotions run high. If you’ve ever felt like the confident, grounded version of yourself disappears around family, this episode will help you reconnect with your power and protect your recovery like your life depends on it—because sometimes, it does. 🔗 Links Mentioned in This Episode 🎧 Episode 114: Understanding and Managing Triggers – A deep dive into emotional, mental, and social triggers + practical tools to protect your sobriety 💻 Work with Me – Coaching, courses, and support for your sobriety journey: addictionunlimited.com/call 🧠 Join the Addiction Unlimited Facebook Group – Your sober support tribe is waiting: https://www.facebook.com/groups/addictionunlimited 💬 Let’s Connect on Instagram – DM me your biggest takeaway from today’s episode: @addictionunlimited ⭐️ Rate, Review & Follow on Apple Podcasts If you loved this episode, please consider rating and reviewing the show—it helps more amazing women like you find the support they need in sobriety.

  • The Real Reasons You Self-Sabotage Your Sobriety (and How to Stop)

    The Real Reasons You Self-Sabotage Your Sobriety (and How to Stop)
    May 14 2025
    You’ve probably been here before… You say this time will be different. You make a plan, set your intentions, tell yourself you’re really going to do it. You’ll say no to the wine night. You’ll go to the meeting. You’ll open the journal, start the morning routine, follow through. But then… you don’t. And you tell yourself you’ll start tomorrow. Again. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep sabotaging your own progress — even when you desperately want to succeed — this episode is for you. We’re not just talking about self-sabotage on the surface. We’re going deeper into the hidden emotional pattern underneath it all: broken self-trust. Because self-sabotage isn’t just procrastination or giving in to cravings — it’s what happens when you’ve made so many promises to yourself (and broken them) that you no longer believe your own word. And when you don’t believe yourself, it becomes almost impossible to stay sober, feel confident, or keep showing up. In this episode, we’re breaking down: Why guilt turns into shame — and how that spiral fuels self-sabotage What it really means to “break your own trust” (and why that matters in sobriety) The lightbulb moment most people miss when they keep starting over And how to start healing this cycle with one small, powerful shift: micro-promises If you’re tired of starting over, if you’re stuck in the “I’ll do better tomorrow” loop, or if you’re ready to feel proud of yourself again — this conversation is going to feel like exhaling for the first time in a while. It’s time to stop quitting on yourself — and start building a version of you that feels strong, steady, and in control. So grab your green tea and ear buds… and let’s get into it. 🔗 Links & Resources: Schedule a call for private coaching: addictionunlimited.com/call Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/addictionunlimited #223 Unlock the Meaning of Self-Sabotage and Helpful Ways to Overcome It: addictionunlimited.com/223

FINALLY!!! I have been saying this for years! We addicts & alcoholics have a great advantage over those that are never forced to take a hard look at ourselves, break it all down, rebuild from the ground up, starting with a establishing an unshakable foundation for creating a new life that we can stand up and be proud of - we have an advantage over everyone else. Other people are rarely going to do this painful, gut-wrenching, humbling work, unless they are forced to, ie., a trip to rehab, legal troubles, ultimatums from a spouse, family or friends, people simply aren’t going to strip themselves and their lives down to the bare bones unless they have no other choice. We, addicts and alcoholics, have the opportunity to change the way we see things; flip the script, as you like to say, Angela. Instead of having a “woe is me” attitude regarding having to do this life-changing work, see it as the true blessing it really is. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to become the best version of you possible. In turn, opening the door to the opportunity to live your best life!
I also want to thank you for backing me up on something I feel very strongly about myself - the idea that we have to “pick one” in regards to being a Life Coach or a Recovery Coach - as far as I’m concerned, you cannot be a well rounded Life Coach if you aren’t prepared to handle addiction at some point or another. By the same token, you can’t be a well rounded Recovery Coach if you can’t handle all facets of life. We have to be able to recognize addiction in any form, dressed up in any outfit, especially the uber expensive, designer ones…as a matter of fact, anyone struggling with anything that controls their life & negatively effects them & those that love them, yet they haven’t realized they are an “addict” because their addiction doesn’t fit into any of the mainstream “boxes”.
Whew! Sorry for rambling but I just wanted to give kudos & tell you that you have a new fan in me & I’ll be sharing your podcast with everyone I work with from here on.
I would love to share my story with you if you ever want to chat!
