The Hangover Liberation Society

Interpreting research on alcohol use disorder and recovery in terms anyone can understand...

It's finally summer, and we're gearing up to get out of town! Vacations used to be drinking marathons for both of us, but (thankfully) we now have more time and headspace to spare while traveling. This week, we're focusing on how to plan for your sober vacation and maximize the benefits of being more present and hangover-free. Adrienne's BIG SOBER ENERGY tip reminds us that we don't have to live-stream our travels to prove we're having fun, and Erin leads us in a mindful knee bend that captures the power in tension and opposition. Doors are currently open for the spring/summer Intensive cohort. If you're curious, book a free visioning session with Adrienne or Erin, and we'll answer all your questions!

Answering your questions about REVA Recovery and the REVA Intensive

This week, we learned via a leaked Supreme Court opinion that the Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade; given this news, we decided to release an episode on the topic of abortion from Season 4 of Adrienne's other podcast, Feminist Hotdog. We at REVA have always centered bodily autonomy in our recovery work and feel strongly that scaling back access to abortion institutionalizes body terrorism. We hope this episode inspires you as a human and inspires you to fight this decision if it comes to pass. ___What do you feel when you hear the word abortion? What words do you associate with it? If you’re Amanda Star Kingsley, those words might be fear or sadness but they might also be strength, purpose, and light. Amanda is a post-abortion life coach. Her mission is to help people achieve the vision for their lives that compelled them to choose abortion. Through her coaching and her podcast, Speaking Light Into Abortion, Amanda is smashing stigmas and asking critical—and sometimes messy—questions designed to help her clients embrace their agency and move forward in confidence. Regardless of your relationship to abortion, prepare to feel a paradigm shift during this powerful conversation.Stuff We Talked About on This EpisodeAmanda Star Kingsley Speaking Light Into AbortionUnFuck Your Brain After AbortionAcceptance After AbortionHolding Space for AbortionAllowing Grief After AbortionHealthy Relationships After Abortion

When it comes to almost any recovery team, pets are the real MVPs. In this episode, we talk through a long list of ways caring for pets (and plants!) can support us emotionally, physically, and mentally as we learn to live without drugs and alcohol. We also share personal stories about the dogs who saved us at different low points in our lives and the lessons they taught us along the way. Even our BIG SOBER ENERGY tip is dog-themed! The next session of our Intensive program starts soon! We're opening five spots for new students who are either transitioning to a zero-proof lifestyle or want to deepen their recovery experience using our groundbreaking, holistic, and trauma-informed method.

Everyone wants to put their best face forward, but when we're chronically dehydrated and pumping our liver full of toxins, our poor skin takes a real beating from the inside. In this episode, we talk about what happens to your skin once you give up booze, why we look worse before we look better, and a skin-related mind-hack that can motivate us to get and stay sober. This week's BIG SOBER ENERGY tip will have your skin singing, plus Erin talks us through a modified version of the Pilates 100!Related LinksHere's How Cutting Alcohol Can Affect Your Skin: https://www.insider.com/stop-drinking-what-happens-to-your-skin-2018-8Learn more about Adrienne and Erin at revarecovery.com.

How to find more joy while spending the holidays sober.

If you clicked on this podcast, chances are you know aaallll about the downside of drinking—the anxiety, damage to your body, lost days, lost relationships. And, yeah, it’s important to remember that stuff. But we're two sober movement teachers and coaches who wanted to create a podcast that goes beyond the downside of drinking and explores the upside of sobriety—and why ditching alcohol is so much more than just liberating yourself from hangovers (although that’s pretty good, too!). For example, did you know that quitting drinking can lead to better and more powerful orgasms? And that the better your liver functions the more glowing and gorgeous your skin looks? It’s true! We’re going to talk about all of that, as well as work, holidays, spirituality, productivity, relationships, social justice, and many other topics. Plus, every episode, we'll bring you a big sober energy tip and a guided meditation or movement sequence tailored especially for people in recovery. So, if you’re sober or considering a zero-proof lifestyle, be sure to follow and subscribe to the Hangover Liberation Society wherever you get your podcasts. Cheers to you and your liberation!
