I recognize just how hard it is to quit a bad habit

I recognize just how hard
it is to quit a bad habit

For most people, having a few drinks with friends was a pleasant way to ease the tensions of the day. However, for some folks, those few drinks turn into a habit. A really bad habit.

With that in mind, Susan (herself a 25-year-plus sober veteran) created this stress-relieving coloring book of quips for you to color to help reinforce your new GOOD habit!

Also: When you have a pencil in your hand, it beats having a bottle of beer in your hand. I love to say that coloring keeps your 'ex-drinking hand' busy!

Susan suggests you use colored pencils instead of felt-tip pens so you don't get that nasty "bleed through" to the page behind, or the next page.

Don't forget to write messages to yourself on the left-hand side of the double spread.

Did you know it takes 66 days to get replace an old habit with a new one

It’s no longer the good old 28 days… and the longer you “stick” with something, the better your chances are of success. That makes sense, right?

But Why 66 Days?

According to a study conducted in London, England, 66 days is the median time frame for a new habit to stick. So, to keep you inspired on your sobriety journey, we proudly present 66 Days to Sobriety Color Your Quips Inspirational Journal.

This 138-page inspirational journal of quips is lovingly compiled with fancy outline fonts for you to add your favorite makes-you-happy colors! Think of Susan’s daily quips as a reminder of your choice to kick your alcohol habit in the butt.

Inside the journal, we have the quip on the right-hand side for you to color, and on the left-hand side, you have a special place for “How I Feel Today” for you to jot down your thoughts for that day.

You can color both sides of the pages!

Now you can easily create colorful quips that remind you of your choice to get—and stay—sober. Here’s to a new sober you!

How Coloring Helps Your Health

Here are a few key reasons why coloring books are said to provide health benefits:

  • Stress relief - The repetitive, low-key nature of coloring within lines is seen as a relaxing, calming activity that can lower stress and anxiety levels. The focus required helps distract from worries.
  • Promotes mindfulness - Coloring requires enough attention that it allows one to enter a state of mindfulness - being intentionally present and focused in the moment. This can enhance relaxation.
  • Brain activity - Concentrating on colors/patterns and coordinating where to place them engages areas of the brain related to focus, logic, recognition, and creativity. This helps exercise the mind.
  • Therapeutic value - Art therapy is an established field where creative activities can aid things like expressing feelings, self-awareness, coping skills for traumatic experiences, and regain a sense of self-accomplishment. Coloring fits within this as therapeutic art.
  • So in combination, coloring books have low barriers to entry while also giving enough cognitive/motor activity and creative self-expression to explain perceived benefits to mental and physical well-being. The relaxation often associated with it additionally brings health advantages to one's state of mind.
