Sobriety 2.0: It’s much MORE than just deleting the booze.

Hi, I’m Stacy and I am consciously living a sober lifestyle. For a full year + a day now. And, wow, what a hell of a year it’s been to give up mind-numbing substances. And to commit fully to deleting EVERYTHING in my life that’s not meant for me. It’s been LIFECHANGING in all the best ways. Why? Read on!

There are SO many ways my life feels better these days physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. For starters, booze (all kinds!) falls into the same category as gluten when it comes to the physical effects it has on me. If I touch either, I feel shitty within the hour. My stomach hurts. My eyes get itchy. A headache is a no-brainer (pun intended!) and I for sure won’t sleep well that night. My skin will probably break out, and I’ll feel foggy for a minimum of 24 hours.

SO, as much as I sometimes crave “real” bread, I am celiac so I don’t touch it. I opt for the “healthier” alternatives made with not-wheat flours, and this allows me to feel way better and operate at a higher frequency. Same with booze. It’s never really agreed with me, I was just slow to admit that it belonged with gluten in the “NEVER good for me” bucket. Now I know better, so I do better. I’ve normalized saying “no thanks” when offered booze, and learned to LOVE mocktails.

Of course, many assume I have a “drinking problem” when I tell them I am on the sober path, but that’s their perception and not actually the truth. I’ve never been addicted to alcohol and quit it cold turkey based on a desire to know what next-level clarity and optimal health really feels like.

As the pandemic gave me time to figure out…I am a serious PATTERN BREAKER on a mission to follow through on my intentions to delete toxicity on all levels. So here we are. Day 1 of Year 2 of NO BOOZE. I love it. I am all in on staying on the sober path because for me, it’s the right path. Alcohol never led to any of my more brilliant ideas or my best decisions. No, those seem to come when I am stone-cold sober, and able to fully tune into my intuitive healing and spiritual gifts. I know exactly where I am supposed to go when I don’t get in my own way.

It was fun to drink socially all those years in college, and post-college, and post-post college. In my 20s, 30s, and into my 40s, from NYC to LA and San Diego and around the world on my travels — always in the name of being a fun participant in whatever press or fam or business trip I was on. There were MANY. And there was usually a cocktail of the destination (ie, margaritas in Mexico, pisco sours in Peru, Malbec in Buenos Aires, you get the idea).

But, these days, life is different. I’ve deleted decades-old friendships and business partnerships that weren’t serving me. A few that I let go on way past their expiration dates due to deep fears and insecurities that I had to face and obliterate. The Pandemic taught us a lot, including how much peace can be found in getting grounded and embracing the solitude that came with the unexpected sabbatical from BUSY. It was the PERFECT time for me to focus on living the sober lifestyle.

Loving life as a sober, spiritual “gangster” on Maui when not in SF or traveling.

My sober lifestyle has included wrapping myself in the things that bring me the most joy, including lots of time at home in my sunny backyard with ocean views and my rescue pups. Lots of reading, some writing, starting that gluten-free cookie business I’d always dreamed about starting!
