Hola Sober Sunday

TARA + THOMOND Online Class Wisdom

Pledge 100, in all its glory, has broken that which I was sure would NEVER ALLOW itself to be broken. That 5 PM comes and goes without the habitual walk of eventual shame to the wine fridge is truly miraculous—didn’t know I had it in me…and I celebrate that break daily. On the non-alcohol-related front: I am also actively working on implementing the proverbial “biting of the tongue” when it comes to making uninvited comments about my kids and their lives…their parenting habits, their financial decisions, and the cleanliness of their homes (!!)…it takes its toll on me AND them and I need to let it be. Not my rodeo, as they say…I’m getting better—mainly because i have many other life things to keep me busy these days…now I’m actually trying to wait for the cue of being asked my opinion! What a concept! (But I am so wise and my pearls of wisdom are epic….ok ok…there I go again :-) -J.M.- Team Tara 2022

I think it takes courage and knowing your inner self very well, to honour your principles and who you are. I'm finding this need altering in sobriety, although small in the changes, I'm finding my feet, and discovering who I am, and where I see my growth. A person dear to me said recently, we need to adjust our sails accordingly. I like that a lot, as I take ownership, but allow the adjustments to happen ” -Y.B.- Team Thomond 2022
