Have you ever taken a step back and wondered why alcohol seems to be a prerequisite to adulting? Likely not. We're bombarded with advertisements, movies, messages, social media and general cultural acceptance of the use of alcohol. Prior to my exploration of my relationship with alcohol and the role it plays in my life, I never thought to question these messages that surround us every single day. I assumed, like most, that alcohol use was normal, part of a healthy diet and mostly safe. In the past four years (basically since Emily has been so open about her journey) I've begun my own journey of diving into the world of alcohol. I've listened to audio books, read books on the subject, checked out podcasts and blogs, and deepened my relationship with Emily through thought-provoking conversations around the topic. What I've learned is nothing short of eye-opening. Wherever you're at with your relationship with alcohol, I hope that you choose to listen in on our conversation. Emily is a wealth of knowledge and today, dedicates herself and her work to other women working through the recovery process.
