My drinking had always been an accepted and "normal" part of my life. My relationship with alcohol started to change when I was faced with heartbreaking grief, working mom overwhelm, my own people pleasing, over functioning and perfectionist tendencies. Suddenly in mid life, alcohol was no longer social and became a private medicine that I administered every night, on the couch alone. My tolerance increased and I continually broke promises to my family and myself, by drinking more than I had planned. I woke up every day in a panic.
In an effort to try to help myself, I talked to a therapist and was prescribed an anti anxiety medication. The meds combined with drinking, resulted in me becoming a walking blackout, on more than one embarrassing occasion. My drinking was getting out of control, and I couldn’t stop it.
This would have been a good time to quit, but now my brain had started to depend on alcohol. I could not feel good without it. The drink became both the cure and the poison. The drink took over me. The drink did not make me feel good, but it did temporarily satisfy my craving. I was desperate for some relief from being myself. I was self medicating to avoid my overwhelming feelings of sadness, grief, fear, and pain.
After the initial relief of a sip of wine, drinking left me feeling guilty, depressed, ashamed, and self loathing.

MY BACKGROUND
After a lifetime of normalized drinking in the midwest, and proudy identifying as an outgoing party girl, I knew my alcohol intake was increasing and it was not helping me. Still, I desperately wanted to keep alcohol in my life. So I did a few Sober Challenges over a series of three years. If I could give up alcohol then I proved, I didn't have to give up alcohol.
After few sober experiments, I knew it was time for me to ditch the drink for good, but I was scared to death to live without it.
I was at my lowest of lows and desperate for a change. I had to admit even to my wine loving self, a seed had been planted in my sober experiments. I liked myself better alcohol free. I was starting to build a positive relationship with myself.
A friend of mine was at the same point in her life and we started the process of getting sober together in February of 2018. Having a friend to go through recovery with was the golden ticket to our success. We didn't know at the time, that a sober life would be so amazing. We could not imagine two party girls like us, actually removing the desire to drink. But here I am, gladly choosing the dry life.
I have been able to heal my relationships with my family and with myself. My anxiety is minimal and my depression is gone. I stopped hating myself and started loving myself. I get my buzz from nature, music, relationships, and waking up with a clear mind and full heart every day.
