What if courage isn’t loud, bold, or fearless at all—but quiet, shaky, and barely visible?

In this episode of Sobriety Snippets, I share a powerful story about a mother, a child, and a single red flower growing through the ashes after a fire. It becomes a metaphor for the kind of courage required to live alcohol-free—the kind most women don’t realize they already have.

We talk about why fear keeps women drinking for years (sometimes decades), how fear disguises itself as anxiety or doubt, and why sobriety isn’t about eliminating fear—but walking straight through it.

In this episode, you'll

• reframe what courage really looks like on the sobriety journey.
• recognize how fear—not alcohol—is what actually keeps you stuck.
• anchor a simple daily reminder that helps you take uncomfortable action, even when you feel unsure, anxious, or unready.
• remember that courage already lives inside you—even if you don’t feel it yet.

Hit play now, find your red flower, and take the first quiet step toward living alcohol-free—with courage, clarity, and self-trust.
