At The End Of The Day, it's an addictive substance like any other drug, and I needed to give myself a little bit of grace and kindness and remind myself of that constantly.
Motherhood can be a wild ride, and for Nat Batalia, it brought unexpected challenges that led her down a path of excessive drinking. In this heartfelt episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol', Nat opens up about her struggle to adjust from life before kids to the demands of motherhood. The guilt and shame she felt from hiding her drinking spiraled out of control, affecting her mental health and family life.
But a significant wake-up call made Nat realize it was time to get honest with herself and make some serious changes. Nat didn't just quit alcohol; she turned her journey into something beautiful by founding the Mindful Mocktail. She started creating delicious, healthy mocktails to curb her cravings during those tough 'witching hour' moments. What began as a personal coping mechanism blossomed into a resourceful platform with loads of recipes for anyone looking to enjoy alcohol-free drinks.
In her conversation with host Danni Carr, Nat shares valuable insights on granting oneself grace and compassion, especially when dealing with the massive adjustment that comes with motherhood. They discuss how sobriety not only helps in becoming better role models for our kids but also unlocks creativity that alcohol often suppresses. Nat's story is a testament to the power of connection and education in sobriety.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with guilt, shame, or the pressures of parenthood while trying to maintain or achieve sobriety. Nat's inspiring journey shows that it's possible to transform your life and find joy in new, healthier habits.
