Description: Today’s real sober mom, Courtney, grew up as a child in a party household, often feeling forgotten amidst a sea of partygoers at her parent’s house. As she grew, she quickly found that alcohol could serve to alleviate her shyness, and she leaned on it to make friends. As an adult, Courtney became a therapist, and she realized through her work that she had childhood pain that she needed to address. With the help of a therapist using the modality of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Courtney had a revelation: she had been using alcohol to mask the pain she felt from feeling unimportant to her family. At this point Courtney began to seek ‘permission’ to quit drinking, but neither family, nor friends, nor her doctors offered her the permission she was seeking. Then she realized: she was going to have to give herself the permission. She is so glad she did! Through sobriety, Courtney has learned how to truly listen to her personal needs. She has found that she can show up for her family in a much more selfless way. Plus, she has been able to find greater healing with her parents. Community makes all the difference.
