Today I speak to the new kind of courage that it takes to lead an alcohol free life. It's about this willingness to rewrite the fear based paradigm you were born into, and part the mists into a the existence that the way we approach life can be thought the lens of unconditional love, acknowledgement and appreciation for the human experiance.

In today's episode I discuss the ONE and ONLY reason that over rides every single excuse in the book for why you can't stop drinking. And so I don’t leave you hanging,  the one and ONLY solution that works in every situation. Right now, you don't yet believe that a life without alcohol will be better than the suffering it is causing you. (this is happening in your subconscious) That some how, alcohol is STILL the solution. Until you DO this work, the work I offer to my clients, you will always be in deprivation, chasing a shadow of pleasure to fill a void that keeps getting bigger and bigger, and strengthens your attachment.  The solution from the suffering alcohol is causing you, actually LIVES in the thing you are avoiding: your emotions.

You want to FEEL better, but you don’t want to feel. All of the questions you have around drinking boil down to one answer. Your unwillingness to become aware of your emotions, validate and understand them. I teach my clients to find comfort and ease in the emotional intelligence of the self, from here, the place of dissociation created by alcohol, actually no longer feels safe.  Get your emotional intimacy step by step guide when you sign up for my free, How To Stop Drinking Workshop.

Certified Yoga Instructor and Nurse, Lindsay Graves, talks about owning the free spirit persona she knew she was, but wasn’t fully living into when alcohol started limiting her more than it was helping her be free. She realized when she had a craving first things in the morning & her personal relationships were suffering,  that something wasn’t right. She put her tools of yoga and meditation to work and really decided to dive into the deep exploration of self inquiry. Now she is influencing her followers on IG to live  a truly free spirited life, FREE of SPIRITS, alcohol free. Lindsey will be gracing the yoga class room and her coworker for years to come with her laid back vibe by guiding them thought the deep embodiment practice of yoga and meditation.

In today's raw and vulnerable interview the Sober Queen, Connie McMillan, talks of her miraculous story of literally choking on a drink after asking God to help her stop desiring alcohol. To her it was an unmistakable sign that her prayers had be answered and from that deep knowing, connection and listening, to her higher power she made the decision to take heed and never drink again.  With a hand to God, she is living her life every step of the way by trusting the signs and messages she is receiving that have given her the inspiration and courage to step fully into her personal Queendom. From a life of hardship and struggles to inspiring Kings and Queens thought her own coaching and speaking, she is truly living a life of purpose, that keeps her moving forward in service, even through pain.
Queen Connie, thank you!!

How can the thing that causes you so much pain, also be the same thing you can't imagine living without?
Breaking promises to yourself on the daily? Your not happy with the relationship you have with alcohol, but you are always giving in to your desires and can't imagine life without it? End the drama by making a choice to UNDERSTAND WHY this is happening.
This is a 100% normal, you or your brain are not broken. It is simply that you haven't practiced how to process emotions. Every time you have had a specific emotion in the past, subconsciously, you have responded with a drink.
You may not consciously KNOW, this is how you are solving for an emotion, and it doesn't even have to be a negative one.
The act of drinking isn't the problem. It is getting comfortable with first being with an emotion and proving to yourself that a drink doesn't change your circumstances, it just masks the emotion.

As a reflection for self inquiry this week:
What would your life look like without alcohol?
What benefits to you gain from alcohol that you aren't capable of creating your own?
When you have the urge to drink, or it's time to decide: Ask yourself: What emotion am I experiencing right now? What are the sensations in my body that it is producing?
To change anything in your life: You have to start making decisions you feel good about, that is the only thing that makes it "the right time".

“Being a Black woman in a patriarchal, racist society can be overwhelming. It is exhausting.” From her website: Khadi Olagoke, lawyer and founder of Sober Black Girls Club, shares with us her journey from head of the class in law school to finding her authenticity and the root of WHY she was coping with alcohol. The discrepancies of representation present in the sober community for Black People, is startling. She speaks to how she is supporting Black and Brown Women put down the bottle and know that a life of joy and REAL pleasure is possible, exactly as you are, but that you must be willing to take a look at the shadow. “I am the work…This is the work of Self”, says Khadi. This interview opens the awareness of why it’s not just the criminal justice system of oppression that needs to change, but EVERY institution in our country. How discrimination runs throughout receiving support for sobriety from education to treatment. Don’t miss this important and powerful episode about how racism and white supremacy adds another layer of adversity to the black community of seeing what’s possible for a full, authentic, healthy life on the other side of alcohol. Khadi, thank you so much!

This interview will change your life. So raw and beautiful, this interview exemplifies how we solve for problems of trauma, mental and emotional health. How alcohol much of the time makes rules for us that seem acceptable but in retrospect seem insane. Excited and full of inspiration, the thought that there is no place left to go with alcohol, "this shit's not allowed in my life". The truth of quitting alcohol from Self Reflection vs. Moderation. How the society views not drinking as the problem, when actually solving for the problems of life with alcohol is the problem. Thank you, thank you, Megan! xoxo
