Page: Feed: --- ## E330: How to Stop Dabbling and Start Doing the Work _2026-08-14 · Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober_ This is where I think people misunderstand what “doing the work” actually means. Doing the work is not just listening to sobriety content, understanding the science, or listening to people do the work in meetings. That information matters, but information alone isn’t going to change the pattern. You may have noticed how this podcast has evolved over the years. Each episode used to be a deep dive… [Listen](https://mgln.ai/e/211/traffic.megaphone.fm/SPMLLC6349175434.mp3) ## How Many Attempts Does it Take to Quit Drinking for Good (Replay) _2026-08-07 · Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober_ I'm working hard on the last part of the dabbling series, but it's delayed by 1 week because I've been sick. Please enjoy this popular replay about how many times it takes to quit drinking for good. Multiple quit attempts are common when you are trying to get sober, but how many tries does it take before it finally sticks? In this episode I’ll cover the statistics on relapse rates and share all… [Listen](https://mgln.ai/e/211/traffic.megaphone.fm/SPMLLC9883496213.mp3) ## [Wine In My Stanley](https://celesteyvonne.substack.com/p/wine-in-my-stanley-b29) _2026-08-03 · Celeste Yvonne · The Ultimate Mom Challenge_ The Motherhood Paradox of Drinking to Cope ## E329: What Dabbling Looked Like For Me _2026-07-31 · Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober_ Story time. In the last episode, I talked about the difference between dabbling in sobriety and actually committing to it. In the next episode, I’m going to talk more about what it looks like to stop dabbling and start doing the work. But before we get there, I want to tell you a story from when I was sober curious, because this is one of the clearest examples I have of thinking I was committed… [Listen](https://mgln.ai/e/211/traffic.megaphone.fm/SPMLLC3310860223.mp3) ## E328: Why Dabbling Keeps You Stuck in the Drinking Cycle _2026-07-24 · Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober_ Dabbling is when you stay close enough to sobriety to feel like you’re doing something, but not close enough for sobriety to actually change you. You listen to podcasts, follow sober accounts, make a Day 1 post. Maybe you go to a meeting. You lurk. You think about quitting. You say, “I know what I need to do.” You collect information, gather advice, and understand the problem intellectually. Then… [Listen](https://mgln.ai/e/211/traffic.megaphone.fm/SPMLLC6208152377.mp3) ## Self-Care is NOT Temporarily Turning Off Your Brain (Replay) _2026-07-17 · Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober_ We think that turning off our brain with alcohol at the end of the day is “me time” and it’s the only way to get a break. This isn’t self-care, it’s called being depleted and trying to survive a life that drains you. Poor self-care is one of the most reliable predictors of relapse in people trying to get sober. It’s important and in this episode I’m explaining what self-care is and 5 simple ways… [Listen](https://mgln.ai/e/211/traffic.megaphone.fm/SPMLLC5225574244.mp3) ## [Unhinged Things I Did To Stay Sober That Actually Worked](https://celesteyvonne.substack.com/p/unhinged-things-i-did-to-stay-sober) _2026-07-15 · Celeste Yvonne · The Ultimate Mom Challenge_ This is Part 2 of a series. ## E327: The “Maybe It’ll Be Different This Time” Fantasy _2026-07-10 · Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober_ One of the sneakiest thoughts in sobriety is, “Maybe I could drink differently now.” This fantasy so convincing because it uses your progress as evidence. It says, “You’re not the same person anymore. You have more tools now. You wouldn’t let it get that bad again. You could probably have one drink on vacation, or at a wedding, or on a special occasion, and be fine.” However, you became more… [Listen](https://mgln.ai/e/211/traffic.megaphone.fm/SPMLLC4586512399.mp3) ## [Unhinged Things I Did in Early Sobriety](https://celesteyvonne.substack.com/p/unhinged-things-i-did-in-early-sobriety) _2026-07-09 · Celeste Yvonne · The Ultimate Mom Challenge_ And What I Wish I'd Done Instead ## E326: Why Alcohol Looks Better in Your Memory Than It Was In Reality _2026-07-03 · Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober_ Romanticizing alcohol can be one of the most confusing parts of sobriety because logically, you know what alcohol did to you, but your brain still makes it sound appealing. When that happens, your brain usually isn’t remembering the full drinking experience — it’s remembering the relief, the state change, and the moment before the consequences showed up. That doesn’t mean you secretly want to ruin… [Listen](https://mgln.ai/e/211/traffic.megaphone.fm/SPMLLC2381554065.mp3) ## [Play Both Sides Of The Lie (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/jbeMGocvkFwe) _2026-07-03 · **Sponsored**_ Two operatives, one manufactured war — uncover the Complete Truth after both campaigns. ## [Don't Save the Best for Last](https://celesteyvonne.substack.com/p/dont-save-the-best-for-last) _2026-06-28 · Celeste Yvonne · The Ultimate Mom Challenge_ On Archery, Recovery, and Why You Start with your First String ## E325: When the courage to quit shows up, don’t assume it will still be there tomorrow _2026-06-26 · Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober_ A lot of people treat quitting drinking like it’s something they can start whenever they want. They think, “I’ll quit after this trip.” “I’ll quit after the summer.” “I’ll quit after my birthday.” “I’ll quit when work calms down.” “I’ll quit after the holidays.” “I’ll quit when I feel more ready.” or “I’ll try again tomorrow” On the surface, that sounds reasonable.

Alcohol changes the brain to increase mindless activity, which can lead to rumination, excessive self-focus, anxiety, and addiction-related thought loops. In this episode, you’ll learn about how alcohol affects the brain and puts us on autopilot, how this… [Listen](https://mgln.ai/e/211/traffic.megaphone.fm/SPMLLC4178287226.mp3) ## [What You Need to Know About Sober Summer](https://celesteyvonne.substack.com/p/what-you-need-to-know-about-sober-625) _2026-06-14 · Celeste Yvonne · The Ultimate Mom Challenge_ As we kick off the summer season, here's my advice ## E324: Going to a Drinking Party 6 Years Sober: 5 Things I Noticed _2026-06-11 · Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober_ I went to a drinking party over the weekend with my in-laws. The family party was by the Jersey Shore, which is a 6 hour drive from my house. I’ve described these parties in the past as marathon drinking parties, because the drinking lasts so many hours. This one was 4 hours at a restaurant, then 4 hours at someone’s house.
