Since then I have felt far more in tune with a sense of my spirit, other peoples spirit, god, the universe. It's just been an avalanche of insights and internal changes in myself." - Joy Manning"It's so obvious to me now how alcohol can be a wet blanket on any kind of spirituality that you might wish to have. And I actually think alcohol can even blunt the awareness that you would wish for something like that." - Joy Manning"Alcohol and wine is [sold] as self care. And in my experience, it was numbing and was worsening my anxiety, so it was the opposite of self care for me." -Kyley Caldwell "The thing I try to tell people is that I thought nothing would be fun without alcohol. What I didn't understand is that everything would be fun without alcohol and it would be more fun and it would be real fun." - Joy ManningInstagram @betterwithoutboozeInstagram @joymanningBetter without BoozeJoy Manning's websiteThe Life Coach SchoolLocal Mouthful Podcast The Body Keeps the ScoreSober CuriousThis Naked MindSuper AttractorJoin the Hello Universe Facebook GroupEva's instagram: @iamevaliaoBook a discovery coaching session with Eva($100 off her 4-week coaching program)Kyley’s Instagram @akashicgraceBook an Akashic Records Healing Session with Kyley
