In this first episode of Served Up Sober the Podcast, Shari, founder of the ever evolving brand, discusses the challenges we all face when we want to start something new but ego gets in the way. What would happen if we just started?
Why do other people's opinions matter? Brief discussion of Ryan Holiday's book Ego Is The Enemy.

EPISODE 001: Start Here

This episode explores why sobriety is hard in the beginning.  Topics include "your sponsor may not like you", "learn to love what "sucks" and "too much time to not enough time".  Shari introduces us to her first year of sobriety and touches on how losing her dad and five others kept her sober.

EPISODE 002: Sobriety Sucks

At what point does "your story" become too much?  What separates speakers from motivators? Do we glamorize our addiction exploits? All this and more is discussed in this honest critique of how we share our past lives with one other in our search for common ground.

Episode 003: Trading War Stories

Once upon a time, before you chased the high, you were chasing sleep. What most addicts and alcoholics really want is to quiet the mind. What does sleep look like in recovery? How do you nurture a sleep routine that’s reliable? Learn all this and more in this episode.

Episode 004: Take This At Night

I found the best inspiration, this morning, from a teenager walking by. Find out how in this random observation.

What's Stopping You?

When you get to the point where it doesn't matter what anyone says or does and you take responsibility for your own situation in life, you're inching closer to self-love.

The Preliminary For Self-Love Is...

The dogma and shame surrounding relapse gives me the blues about AA. I don't know of anyone who successfully quit right out the gate. Relapse is really just a reset. Don't trip about it. Check this out!

Most Times I Can't Stand AA

There's some days when things don't go your way; days when society says you're supposed to be giddy and celebratory are sometimes the hardest. Hell, days like Mothers Day. And if you're down on Mothers Day, you've got some shit...

When The World's Up And You're Down

So you think you were happier when you were drinking? Ha! That's funny. This random is a quick reflection on my first year of sobriety when six people died, among other things...

It's Only The Hightlight Reel

The minute you start watering yourself down for somebody else's taste, you've completely fucked up.

No Pressure

You can get inspired, but until you "put in work" all you have is inspiration. This episode started as a random few minutes and ended up being quite a bit more. Plus a special cameo from Ms. Glam who drops nuggets of knowledge at the close.

Do The Work

Probably not a good idea to list me as the emergency contact -- unless its truly an emergency. In this episode we take a look at what happens when my phone rings at 4AM!

Not At Four In The Morning

There's nothing wrong when things don't work out the way you want them to. When you find your niche, the struggles won't feel like struggles.

Note to Self

Just my thoughts on how what people do can charter the direction our lives go -- if we let it.

Stop Letting People Control You

Everybody cycles, either with little bumps in the road or big peaks and valleys. The trick is to plan for it.

You're Gonna Crash, So Plan for it

Follow the signs, don't get lost in your own desert...
