God, Grant Me the Serenity To #ADDTOCART
If you are looking for affordable, well-made jewelry that also has meaning for your Mom, we’ve curated just the collection for you! Brighton has a really cool Serenity Angel Amulet collection. The Serenity Prayer is engraved on the backside of the amulet.

Sing Your Mom a Sober Song!
Bring your favorite stories, feelings, and memories to life with a personalized song with Songfinch. Your mom will be SO impressed at your cleverness! I can vouch for this company. Late last spring, a favorite co-worker of mine left the company to take a one-year radical sabbatical. (Something I recommend everyone do when and if you get the chance) Known as the karaoke king around the office, I knew we had to do something special for him.
That’s where Songfinch came in. They have a super easy-to-use form fill on their website that will walk you through all of the details they are looking for. Plus, it lets you select your mood, genre, and vocalist gender. This is the kind of gift that will be played over and over again and can last a lifetime!
Sober Curator Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to get detailed. I was blown away at how they wove in tons of funny memories into a catchy song that I had on repeat for at least a week. Don’t spring the extra dough to have the song put inside of a Teddy Bear. That was literally my only moment of buyer’s remorse.

At Doughp, they are committed to reducing the stigmas around mental health & addiction recovery. This brand is making the world a little sweeter… one spoonful at a time!

Let Your Mom Netflix & Chill
That’s right. It’s HER day, not yours. In fact, why not just let her own the remote for the entire weekend and binge TV shows and movies to her heart’s content? This is how you Mother’s Day when the budget is too tight to go shopping. Do her a solid and pick up around the house, walk the dog, do some yard work, make her a meal, and treat her like the Sober Queen she is. Moms LOVE handmade cards and handwritten notes.
(Sober Moms if you are reading this right now, send this article to your family members to remind them that you and your recovery need some selfie-care time. Also, make sure to check out our Movie Night with The Sober Curator and The Mindful Binge sections for binge-worthy ideas of what to watch)
