The Sober Mom Life ·

2026/07/20

Today’s real sober mom Chelsea grew up in a home where alcohol wasn’t seen as a problem. As the child of two drug addicts, Chelsea was raised to view alcohol as a ‘safe choice’ in comparison to hard drugs. So, when Chelsea began drinking at age 14 she thought nothing of it. Chelsea went to work in retail right out of high school to be there for her family.

Standing Confidently in Your Sobriety with Sydney Allen

The Sober Mom Life ·

2026/07/13

Sobriety and parenting writer Sydney Allen was still in her 20s when she chose sobriety. She hadn’t had a rock bottom. She hadn’t experienced all of the terrible things that could happen with alcohol. Yet she could still tell - her gray area drinking was unhealthy, and alcohol was going to take more and more away from her if she continued to drink. So, she cut it out of her life in 2022. Explaining her sobriety to her friends and family, though? That felt like a challenge. People didn’t understand

2026/06/22

Real Sober Mom Erin’s childhood revolved around her father’s alcohol addiction and she made a promise to herself: that would never be her. Amidst her parents divorce during high school, though, she developed a new opinion: Alcohol felt like it gave her control. And that felt good.

Real Sober Mom Bailey chose sobriety not as a ‘punishment’, but as a gift to herself. After a lifetime of difficult relationships with her parents, Bailey became a mom herself.

2026/06/12

As we enter the summer concert season (at least here in the midwest) I want you to know: nothing beats a sober concert. They are the best. Seriously, you owe it to yourself to experience a concert without alcohol, especially if an artist you love is performing. The truth is you’re never fully present when alcohol is involved. The music flies by while you’re thinking about your next drink, or thinking through your moderation rules, or finding yourself standing in the bathroom line as your favorite

After years of feeling like a socially awkward pre-teen, alcohol arrived in real sober mom Laura’s life. It seemed to give her the courage to embody the persona of a ‘hot fun party girl,’ and with it, she left her sense of awkwardness behind. From there on, ‘booze and boys’ took priority over everything else in Laura’s life. The party didn’t stop when Laura entered her professional life. It didn’t stop when she got married. And it didn’t stop when she had kids. It just kept changing, and

2026/05/25

My friend Jess of A Sober Girl’s Guide is back to tell us all about her proactive sobriety support app: Bestday. Bestday shifts the question away from ‘why am I not drinking?’ to ‘Why am I wanting to drink?’. The app’s customized daily ‘risk score’ will help you proactively prepare for the moment when a craving might hit. This kind of clarity can make all the difference in sustained long term sobriety. The benefits of the app go so much deeper than sobriety, though, and no one knows that
