Cancel my subscription

Hi, I am really enjoying the Sober Powered subscription, but I am unable to afford the $27/month when my subscription renews. I will need to cancel my subscription before it renews and hope to sign up for Sober Powered once I have the financial resources. How do I go about cancelling my subscription? Thank you so much.

In sobriety

Hi ! I tried sobriety a couple of times, like for 8/9 months twice and after a while I had the impression that I was feeling like I did not know what to do with the feeling of "wellness" I was in. As if I was not deserving it or that I was not capable of enjoying it. That caused me to relapse. And that also prevents me now from getting back to sobriety, because I am wondering what I will do with it. However I am a very active and passionate person, and happy you see, It's a very strange feeling. Could it be that because I have had this bad habit of drinking in a long time, it's hard to get used to another me ? A me that I have never really be ? Is it that bad ? Have other people shared this kind of feeling with you ? And if yes, how long in your experience would you say it lasts before you feel absolutely normal in sobriety ? Many thanks for your answers.

Not drinking on vacation.

Hi! I am on day one of not drinking and I have a 5 day cruise out of Miami coming up going to the Bahamas in two weeks. What is your advice on how to not drink in this type of environment? I am so tired of drinking and not remembering my vacations! I have been drinking heavily for about twenty years now.

Spouse who drinks

my husb birthday is in 3 weeks..its a friday this yr. We work and then ill prob have dinner for him..and he will then go out with his guy friends and again Saturday eve. Bdays are a big deal. Now that im.sober I know its an excuse to just drink! He usually has a couple guys that will sit on the deck or in garage. And then Saturday eve he will most likely get picked up and more drinking. I dont like when hes hungover and I dont want to be around others who are drinking as it makes me feel isolated and left out. I have codependency issues which im.working on with my therapist. But I feel like this is the first yr not joining him and in order to protect myself, I feel like I need.to remove myself out of the scene.. And go do something that weekend.. I just dont want to sound selfish by doing this.since its his bday time. This sober stuff has really made the dynamics more.so for me feel a bit lost. I know im.not alone in that. He could lessen his drinking habits... But I know thats on his own accord and time. This last weekend he went with a friend to an event and of course drinking was involved. It makes me feel left out. But why should i have to sit at home feeling sad because hes out doing things... It is a grief in a sense too because thats so involved with his life and not mine anymore. I know ppl divorce.over things like this and it makes me nervous. But any feedback or advice on it would be amazing. Thanks for your help as always Gill!
