IDK why but I was feeling called to talk about alcohol. I want to share with you some observations I have made about myself and my use of alcohol throughout my life.. just incase this helps you connect some dots about the way you use this substance within your own life.

I share about my journey with substances and how I used them in my life + what I have noticed for myself. My hope by sharing openly and honestly is always to provide any insight that could be helpful for you to reflect on your own use, and potentially learn other coping methods if this is no longer serving you or has gotten out of hand. 

Just know, no judgement - and if you have individuals in your life struggling with this, have empathy for their emotional state thats likely leading them to use substances in the first place. So often the people who have substance abuse problems are people who are really hurting and don’t know any other way to cope. 

I ask some reflective questions for you to reflect on yourself to see what could be bringing you to need a substance to cope… What is hard in your life right now? What is causing you stress? What do you not want to feel right now? what are you running away from?

For me my biggest seasons of drinking and using alcohol were during transitions from my major relationships... and typically when I was self abandoning the most and 'needed' something to help me cope.

I am not necessarily team 100% sobriety for every person, but I am on the side of bringing awareness to how you use alcohol, how often, what you’re running from and learning healthier methods to cope if this is currently one of your major coping mechanisms. 

+ I do believe it can be used in moderation, but if you’e unable to get there, than fully cutting it from your life sometimes is the best choice for you. I have lots of friends who have chosen to go 100% sober and I completely understand why, as there of course isn’t any health benefits, other than letting loose and laughing and having fun which sometimes I feel can be a valuable thing!
