A long time friend of mine has reached out to me recently and confided that she has dipped into a severe depression. Along with that, her alcohol consumption has grown to the point of being scary and she said she needed a friend to talk to. She also knows that I have been sober, completely, for about a year and a half, and she wanted some advice. She was sick of ‘escaping’ every night into her beer bottles because every morning she woke up and regretted it, only to repeat the process every night. She told me that she felt alcohol ruins everything because she grew up in a household filled with it and there was never any peace there. So, what could she do… how did I cut the wine I used to drink out of my life completely? As I shared my story with her I let her know that a person really has to want to quit, they have to realize that the desire to drink has to come last, and they have to be ready. I joined an online 21 day reset, read a few books about alcohol and the effects it has on our bodies, ( this was the main thing that has kept me from picking up a glass all of this time ) and I talked to some of my friends who had also decided to be alcohol free. Support is everything and the people who don’t have it are sometimes more easily swayed to drink. I jumped into exercising outdoors, concentrating on work, and focusing a lot more on my health. And after about a month of doing this, and feeling the benefits, which will be felt fast, I knew I was done and the Wine Witch had died. ~ Stress plays a big part in alcohol issues and it’s common for people to want to find a way to just escape reality for awhile. If you have any questions about anything regarding this issue, let me know. I’m not a doctor or an expert but I do know my cravings are completely gone and I’m going to be alcohol free for the rest of my life. I’m here if you need an ear…
Enjoy your day! Jana
