If alcohol is starting to take more than it gives,
I want you to know;Â there is nothing wrong with you
Meet Heather
Hi—I’m Heather Lowe.
I started Ditched the Drink because I know what it feels like to look successful on the outside while feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns on the inside. I was filled with feelings, doubts, and questions too.
There’s nothing wrong with you if alcohol feels different now. These are signals, not failures, and they’re pointing you toward another way.
As a Certified Professional Life + Sobriety Coach (and a former corporate leader who’s walked this same road), I built this space to help smart, successful women create clarity, confidence, and freedom, without labels, pressure, or shame.
