It's Not About the Alcohol

I had a drink last night


Listen Later

After trying on many beliefs about my relationship with alcohol, I've adopted the belief that I can drink anytime I want. Because it feels much better to think I don't want to drink than I can't drink.

My recovery is no longer from alcohol. I have healed my brain and my body from years of abuse. My recovery now is focused on getting over my habits of people-pleasing and perfectionism. I am becoming a woman who listens to her intuition and trusts herself to manage the consequences of her own actions--both good and bad--without beating herself up.

Last night, when I asked my body for permission to have a small glass of wine, the answer was, "go for it. You got this."

And so I did. This episode is my post-drink analysis.
