Ever wondered what an alcohol-free lifestyle looks like? Joining me for the conversation today is Rachel Hechtman.
Rachel reached for her first alcoholic drink aged 14. Alcohol quickly became a crutch for her and it always seemed to be there for her... Not letting her down, alcohol was there waiting for her at the end of each day.
But it did let her down, it gave rise to anxiety and depression. Most days Rachel would wake up feeling grotty, tired, hungover and wondering how she was going to make it through the day if that wasn't enough, being anaesthetized by alcohol put Rachel in some frightening and potentially dangerous situations.
Rachel knew that something needed to change -
"I knew that a lot of things in my life needed to change and I remember the moment that it all clicked into place. I thought to myself, how do people get up in the morning feeling energized and happy, go do a work-out before work, eat healthily, meal plan, and have active social lives...I realised that these people are not drinking every night the way I am. They are not falling asleep on the sofa, and they are not waking up feeling like crap with a hangover, so it really dawned on me that the alcohol was the piece I needed to change and let go of in order to get all those other pieces of my life functioning"
Today this incredible woman is 500+ days sober and living her best, magical life!
