Better Ask Rille

12 Years Sober Today!

When I decided to quit drinking 12.1 years ago, I never really thought what the future would look like. In fact, I didn't even care, all I knew, is if I could make a year, I could go forever.

I love making this yearly post for 2 main reasons:

The amount of people that comment and message on how long they have gone. Whether it is their first time going a week, hitting the 30 day mark... again, or being in triple digit days. It's so awesome to see and hear everyone's success stories.

The second the, the amount of private messages I get, from people struggling, asking how to quit, and the frustrations they face. But at the same time, I love their drive to want to quit. Even if it isn't happening now, they are still trying.

I don't care if you drink or not. (I kind of so) But I really believe that alcohol doesn't solve any problems.

Remember, it's going to be hard and it's going to be a silent journey. And you're going to have to sit on that silence. Which may drive some of you to drink and keep repeating the process. The sooner you can sit in the silence, that uncomfortableness and work through it, the faster you'll get to the other side.

You're allowed to fail, you're just not allowed to quit!

You’ve had questions about coaching. You just haven’t asked them because that would mean you’re serious.

But you haven’t asked.
Not because you don’t want answers
But because asking means you’re thinking about actually doing it.

And that’s scary.
Because if you’re serious… now you’ve got something to lose.
Now it’s real.
Now you can’t pretend you’re just “researching options.”

I get it.
But here’s your permission slip:
You can ask the question without signing your life away.

You can DM me and say:

“What do you actually do?”

“Is this right for me?”

“Do I even need coaching?”

“What happens if I fail… again?”

📩 DM me “I’ve got a question” and I’ll give you a real answer, no pitch, no pressure.
