Join now at nomorewasteddays.co/daymakers   When you first quit drinking, your biggest goal might simply be to make it through each day alcohol-free and that’s huge. But what happens when you start to feel ready for more?In this inspiring episode, Sara explores the power of goal setting in sobriety and how it shifts your focus from just not drinking to thriving. She shares her own evolution from early sobriety to taking on life-changing goals like building a house, launching a business, and planning a 93-mile backpacking trip with her family around Mount Rainier.You’ll learn why alcohol keeps us stuck in short-term thinking, how sobriety rebuilds self-trust, and how to start dreaming again, one intentional goal at a time. Whether you’re just starting your alcohol-free journey or ready to push toward your next chapter, this episode will remind you what’s truly possible when you stop numbing and start creating.   In this episode, you’ll learn: Why goal setting is essential for long-term fulfillment in sobriety How breaking promises while drinking damages self-trust, and how to rebuild it The difference between surviving sobriety and thriving in it How to set aligned goals that reflect who you want to become, not who you “should” be Practical ways to start small, stay consistent, and build momentum The mindset shifts that make growth sustainable (progress over perfection) Key takeaways: Your first goal, staying alcohol-free, is not small; it’s foundational. Once you build trust in yourself, your confidence expands naturally. Sobriety opens space for new dreams, from creative projects to fitness goals. Big goals don’t have to be grand gestures, they just need to align with your values and your “why.” You didn’t quit drinking to live smaller; you quit so your life could get bigger. Sara’s Big Goals Example: Completing a 100-day fitness challenge Building her family’s dream home from the ground up Preparing for the Wonderland Trail hike in 2027 Each of these milestones began with the same foundation: daily commitment, self-trust, and a willingness to dream bigger without alcohol.   Join the Day Makers Community For the month of November only, you can try the Day Makers community for just $1 for your first two weeks.
