One of the biggest lessons from my six years sober? I didn’t have to explain my decision to everyone. As my self-esteem grew, I became more comfortable with my choice. My family and friends were genuinely happy for me—and I had something to feel good about, too. Learn more about sobriety and healthy living from Casey Casey @mysoberlifejourney

I’m Coach Casey. This is MySoberLifeJourney.

Vacations are supposed to recharge us. Yet many people spend several days drinking, recovering from drinking, or planning the next drink. Coach Casey discusses why vacation drinking has become so socially accepted—and why it may actually be costing families precious memories together. Discover how a little planning before your trip can create a vacation that's more meaningful, healthier, and far more memorable.

Coach Casey @mysoberlifejourney discusses how some people really identify with their problems, so much so they begin part of their identity. This is called Secondary Gains, which means the gain from a secondary condition (illness, habit). The alcoholic who promises to get sober. The overweight person who says they absolutely have to lose weight. We all know them and maybe we are one of them ourselves!

Life is full of aggravation but every once in awhile we are struck with brief moments of clarity that help us sort out our problems. Could be from drinking, finances, a bad job, spouse, kids, you name it. Coach Casey brings regular insights into sobriety and wellness. Subscrivbe and come back soon!

Life forces us to take risks. Risky alcohol drinking, risky financial investments or risky life choices for a career and education. Coach Casey has a 2 step plan to help you get your thinking straight before you take that big leap forward!

“Are retired Boomers really happy?
Well… yes and no.
A lot of retirees imagine retirement feels like a permanent vacation.
But research shows something surprising:
Many people actually struggle after retirement.
Why?
Because work gave them structure…
purpose…
social interaction…
and identity.
Some studies show nearly 1 out of 5 retirees eventually go back to work — sometimes for money, but often because they miss feeling useful.
And honestly?
The happiest retirees usually aren’t sitting still.
They stay active.
They walk.
They volunteer.
They learn new things.
They build friendships.
They mentor people.
They keep moving physically and mentally.
Turns out happiness in retirement isn’t about escaping life.
It’s about building a new version of it.”
— Coach Casey

Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the most common health measurements in the world — but does it really tell the whole story? In this video, Coach Casey explores the history of BMI, where it came from, what it was originally designed to do, and why it may not be as accurate as many people think.

You’ll learn:
• The surprising origins of BMI
• Why muscle mass can distort BMI results
• The connection between BMI and chronic disease risks
• Why two people with the same BMI can have very different health outcomes
• Why overall health matters more than a single number

BMI can be a useful screening tool, but it should never replace a complete picture of your health, fitness, lifestyle, and medical care.

If you’re working on sobriety, weight loss, wellness, or rebuilding your life physically and mentally, this discussion may help you look at health in a more balanced and compassionate way.

Addiction doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
It happens in environments… in cultures… in identities we’re trying to survive. In this video, Coach Casey breaks down how culture can create and reinforce addiction, especially when someone grows up with limited opportunity, poor education, and negative influences.
This isn’t about blame — it’s about understanding the root causes so real change can begin.
If you’ve ever wondered:
Why addiction seems almost inevitable for some people
How environment shapes behavior
Or how to break free from a destructive cycle
…this video is for you.
