Hey AINYF Community,
In this week’s AINYF publication, we had a publication first by releasing two editor articles for the first time ever.
We may start doing this more often, but this week’s reasoning was based on wanting to finally get the last step of The MEDS…the holistic mind/body process to quit drinking to the AINYF community.
This week’s release is titled Success Seeking — How Having BIG Goals Will Increase Your Chances of Staying Sober. …

Hey AINYF Community,
Spring is officially upon us as the weather is getting hotter each day and the pollen is starting to attack those with allergies.
For those who may be struggling a bit with the warm weather from that desire to enjoy the sun and drink margaritas at your favorite Mexican restaurant, we shared an article this week titled 5 Things to Do INSTEAD of Drinking in the Spring to Protect Your Sobriety.

Hey AINYF Readers,
As we close out the harsh winter months and come to the beginning of Spring, this may be coming on the 90-day mark for many of you.
Ninety days was monumental for me because it was the longest I went without alcohol TWICE to prove to myself that I could do it. I felt great about this achievement, and it gave me the confidence that I could hold to my commitment to do it longer when I came to that decision.
