Ever wonder why you keep slipping back into old emotional patterns—even when you’re sober, self-aware, and doing “all the right things”?

In this episode of Sobriety Snippets, I step just outside our identity conversation to talk about a crucial piece of the journey we often overlook.

Sobriety isn’t just about emotional growth—it’s also about learning how to release the emotions you’ve been carrying for decades. If resentment, fear, self-pity, or anxiety keep resurfacing, there’s a reason—and it’s not because you’re failing.

In this episode, you'll

1. begin to recognize why adding a new identity isn’t enough if old emotions stay stored in your nervous system.
2. understand the difference between expressing emotions and actually releasing them.
3. connect the dots between decades of emotional suppression and why alcohol felt like relief for so long.
4. learn why this skill takes courage, support, and practice—and why it changes everything when done safely.

Hit play to discover the missing prong of emotional sobriety—and why letting go is the skill that finally brings freedom.

Ever notice how everything feels more irritating when alcohol is an issue—traffic, people, small inconveniences that shouldn’t matter but somehow do?

In this episode of Sobriety Snippets, Becca Jacobson introduces an unexpected but powerful tool: the shrug. Not as indifference—but as a nervous-system signal that says this doesn’t matter, and I’m safe letting it go. Becca explains how chronic frustration around alcohol spills into daily life, keeping women tense, reactive, and emotionally exhausted.

In this episode, you'll

1. interrupt stress responses with a simple physical reset
2. disentangle alcohol frustration from everyday irritation
3. release the need to control what you cannot change—without abandoning care or boundaries
4. reclaim calm, clarity, and emotional energy during sobriety

Press play now and practice releasing what doesn’t matter—so you can settle your nervous system, protect your peace, and move through your day with steadiness instead of strain.

What if quitting alcohol isn’t the hardest part of the journey—and isn’t even the point?

In this episode of Sobriety Snippets, I share the real story of how I got sober at 52—and why the traditional advice I was given wasn’t enough to help me stay alcohol-free or rebuild my life. From Juicy January to the early days of Snippet Land, I explain what was missing when I needed help most, and why connection—not information—became the turning point.

This episode is especially for professional, driven women over 40 who don’t just want to stop drinking—but want more from their lives.

In this episode, you'll

1. build a life where emotional sobriety strengthens your relationships, confidence, and direction
2. cultivate emotional sobriety as the foundation for a more fulfilling life
3. feel less alone by hearing a story that mirrors your own struggle
4. imagine a future that’s not just alcohol-free, but deeply fulfilling

Hit play to hear how sobriety became the doorway—not the destination—and discover what it really takes to make this the most powerful chapter of your life.
