  • Can Quitting Drinking Cause Depression?

    Can Quitting Drinking Cause Depression?
    May 1 2024
    The REAL reason for feeling some depression or symptoms of depression when you quit drinking alcohol. And one of these may be something you’ve never heard of. If you've ever used alcohol to deal with feelings of depression, you may have found that after your buzz wears off, you feel even lower than before. It’s a chicken and egg situation – which came first? Were you struggling because you were drinking, or were you drinking because you were struggling? Well, both can be true. Drinking can increase depression – but depression is also linked to heavier alcohol use. There are a few things to be aware of to make sense of what you may be feeling and, more importantly, help you cope and have the understanding that it is fixable.

  • 3 Things I Would Do If I Was Starting Sobriety Today

    3 Things I Would Do If I Was Starting Sobriety Today
    Apr 26 2024
    If you find yourself in yo-yo sobriety, and you can’t figure out why you keep going back to drinking when you KNOW you don’t drink well – I’m going to give you some solutions. If you have followed me for any length of time, you know I’m all about solutions and I’m a believer in investing the majority of my time and energy into solving a problem rather than obsessing about it. One thing I can tell you with certainty is, I know what works for recovery. Not only from my personal recovery and fighting all the same battles you’re fighting, but also from the thousands of people I’ve worked with over all the years of my career. Addiction, alcoholism, alcohol use disorder… whatever you want to call it – is very predictable. It’s course and progression is the same in everyone, and the core solutions are the same, too. So if you are back at ‘day one again’ or you have been sober for a minute and you’re fighting your head telling you, “maybe it wasn’t that bad”, “maybe you can control it now”, “you can get away with just one drink!” – if you can relate, I want you to listen up, and take action. And if you want my notes from this episode so you don’t have to take notes, then make sure you are signed up for the 30 Days to Fast Track Your Recovery series where I’m not only providing all these bonus episodes, but also some great bonus resources to help you in your process so you can get farther and feel better, faster. addictionunlimited.com/fasttrack If you’re signed up then next week you are going to get access to some bonus videos I put together for you, then we are going to do a LIVE webinar so we can be face-to-face you and me! And it’s all FREE! addictionunlimited.com/fasttrack Now let’s get into the magic of solutions and what to do to feel better, and stay sober longer.

Good stuff, Angela!

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!

Angela is a blessing

I can’t say enough good things about Angela. She not only helped me stop drinking when I didn’t even know where to start but she helped me recover. Angela thank you for all your hard work you’re the bomb! xo

I love this episode.

I love these podcasts. Angela has great insite on how to be a better sober person. I don't know how I'd be a better person without her! If your not into/ ready for AA she is perfect to open your mind to sober living.
