I Tried Everything To Heal Myself BUT Look at my Alcohol Habits

It was weeks before or after my sister’s bachelorette party in New Orleans (I can’t remember now but it was all in the same month!) and I had just got a Soul Reading by a lady on the internet.

It was a legit reading! That woman had a gift, and she was spot on. She said some things in that reading that to this day I am still contemplating.

Let’s Get Back to Feeling our Emotions instead of Drinking Them

The one thing we are REALLY avoiding with alcohol is our emotions! Those things that scare the hell out of us but can also be our saving grace. EMOTIONS.

I never thought I was doing this with alcohol, avoiding feeling. I would never have said that when my mind was telling me, let’s go drink! What I was telling myself in that moment was I wanted to go have ‘fun’. That was always my code word… fun.

The brain fog you have been experiencing, suffering with, and think is normal - is really from the alcohol you drink!

You know that feeling after a night of drinking alcohol and your head is just pounding, you’re cradling it in your hands, can’t seem to adjust fully to the noise and light of a normal day, and normal everyday thoughts are just… hard? It’s as if thinking becomes a chore.

Yeah, that is how I use to wake up after drinking alcohol too. I had no idea there was a name for it, and it’s called brain fog!

Alcohol: The Gateway to Meaningless Relationships

I was all about drinking, meeting guys that way, and dating the ones who liked to get drunk and party. That was my whole MO when I was at the bars.

Every single boyfriend I had was also a drinker, or we wouldn’t be dating! That was what we did for fun. We each had our group of friends and went to the bars to hang out.

It was pretty normal for me to associate my love life with alcohol. let’s say that.

You Literally Can’t Fail When you are Quitting Drinking Alcohol!

I look at quitting alcohol as a MASSIVE leap forward in your own personal evolution! So why do we all get so down on ourselves for even trying to quit alcohol?

Say you told yourself, “I am going to quit drinking alcohol!”

You are super pumped, and you have every intention of not drinking that nasty stuff. You are committed, ready, and excited for this new venture of healing.

Then the weekend hits, and the texts start coming in. You got friends and family inviting you out, super fun events to go to, sports outings, bars patios to sit on, maybe even a friend’s garage to go hang out in, or just a dinner date with your spouse.

I Could Never Have Just One Drink

I would tell myself all the time that this was going to be a two-drink night, go home, and wake up tomorrow ready to get my day started!

That was the plan anyway…

Once I got to the bar and started drinking, myself control went out the window. I always felt the best when I had two drinks. That was when the good buzz was starting to happen. Where I felt my dopamine hits turning on, I was feeling buzzed, still coherent but giddier… yeah that was my sweet spot.
