Is stress a huge trigger for you? Do the sounds of yelling and screaming make you want to drink so that you don't have to 'hear it'?

If these statements feel true for you - you'll want to check out today's episode where I am exploring the relationship between Emotional Abuse / The Stress Trigger / and Alcohol Use Disorder.

Do you hesitate to make changes with your drinking habit because you don't want to have to make an 'all or nothing' decision?

Well, you don't! Support for those of us seeking to have healthier lives that don't revolve around alcohol but perhaps don't exclude it entirely is becoming more available and more varied than ever before.

You can certainly make small changes that give you major results over time. The decision to not act at all for fear of having to go immediately abstinent doesn't need to stop you from embarking on your healing path. You don't have to be perfect, because perfection doesn't even exist, but you can be BETTER, with incremental changes.

Love,

Jess

Meditation, hypnosis, and exploring a spiritual path are all things that tremendously helped me heal from my alcohol addiction.

This episode is a free gift to you!

Carve out 20-30 minutes when you can disconnect from all distractions, lie down and close your eyes, relax, and get in touch with your deeper subconscious mind.

The more you can habitualize and actively incorporate daily relaxation techniques into your day, the less you will seek out drinking for stress and anxiety relief.

Love,

Jess

"What is your program about?" "Do I have to use a bunch of rules and restrictions?" "What if I'm not ready for abstinence?"

These are some of the questions that I have received lately and so I'd like to address them in this episode where I share how I created not only my own transformation with Alcohol Abuse Disorder but a proven methodology for my clients as well.

The Mindful Drinking Method is based on the premise that you are using drinking to compensate for feeling disconnected from your Self and detached from your Soul's purpose.

I use the analogy that healing from Alcohol Abuse Disorder is actually a Spiritual Path and that there is a simpler more natural way to do it than by using rules and regulations and force.

Take a listen and let me know what you think!

Where do you resonate? And what feels exciting to you about the possibility of creating lasting positive shifts in your relationship to alcohol?

Thank you for being here.

Love,

Jess at La Vida, Salud

If you spend time thinking about changing the way that you drink, but you are confused about where to begin or feel overwhelmed by the whole process, you can start really small.

You can start by getting honest with yourself, looking at your life from a perspective of what might happen if you DON'T change, and letting that simple moment of candid realness be the beginning of your path.

Creating change with your relationship to alcohol requires becoming visible, it requires that you step out of hiding, and realize that you are in fact, not alone. And that there are resources and community available to you.

Jess

If you can take a few days /weeks/ months off of drinking, but inevitably you end up right back where you were with your drinking habits, you may be taking the Outside / In approach.

The Outside / In approach uses acts of will, force, rules etc. to create the change that you desire. But it doesn't work in the long run because you have an internal dialogue that is working in opposition.

In contrast, the Inside / Out approach, may seem to take longer, but the results are longterm if not permanent. My own journey and the manner in which I guide my clients is to take the latter approach. Begin the journey of healing your relationship with alcohol from the inside.

Check out this episode to get more information on why this method is way more powerful and less painful than you might think.

Love,

Jess at Bless'ed Vida

If you drink to 'manage your stress' you are probably already aware that you are not doing yourself any favors. When we drink to 'remove' ourselves from situations that we don't like, or to change internal circumstances like stress, we are not making ourselves available to ever solve the persistent problem/ the stressor itself.

Therefore it doesn't change. And the habit that you have been forming around trying to create stress relief with drinking won't change either.

The first thing that you can do in these situations is to examine what types of thoughts you are having right before you reach for a drink.

In this episode, I share with you, how you can begin to examine the thoughts and beliefs that you have around alcohol 'helping' you with stress.

Love,

Jess

If you started drinking more and more regularly in your teens or early 20's, your mind made a strong association that drinking goes well with big feelings because at that earlier stage of life, you were also developing emotionally.

Now, as a more mature adult, if you're looking to change your drinking habits, you MUST look at the thoughts and associations that you made as Younger You, and see them more objectively with Wiser You's mind.

The way you're thinking about the way you are drinking has everything to do with your habit habituating. Once you can begin to see your thoughts, and actively change them, you will be able to create freedom with alcohol.

Have you come to a point where you are asking yourself, "What if I never changed my drinking habit?"

And, instead of honestly answering that question, have you just put off thinking about it, until you have another horrible experience and you're back wondering, "What would my life be like if I ceased over-drinking?"

Around and around it goes like this until the day that you can actually get real with yourself and declare, "I am actually willing to acknowledge that the way I am drinking is harmful and I am willing to do something about it."

If you're WILLING to make changes, then you've essentially taken the first step. And if you need some support declaring your willingness, this episode is for you!

In this episode of The Mindful Drinking for Women podcast I further detail my journey through shedding my party-girl identity and becoming Mommy Wino. And how my refusal to look at myself honestly was keeping me stuck in damaging behavior. And how, until I feared that my anxiety and irritability would become my new norm, I had no interest in changing.

If you are finding yourself at a similar crossroads, where you KNOW that you could be doing better, and you're wondering how to begin to break the drinking cycle, this episode is for you!

Are you curious about what Mindful Drinking is and how you can begin to implement this lifestyle?
