I've done a lot of work to my life to make some changes over The Last Six Months To A Year, and anything that I was previously trying to bury deep down or numb, or any of those like difficult feelings of unhappiness where I was living, all those things I found out later were just things that I was trying to numb. So when you suddenly don't have any of those things to try to numb anymore, when you do that hard work and make the difficult changes, you don't see a reason for alcohol anymore.
Imagine realizing that the one thing you thought was helping you unwind was actually holding you back. That's exactly what happened to Abigail Olin, a 30-year-old songwriter and model from Nashville. In this episode of 'Creative Sobriety', host Kristen Bear sits down with Abigail to discuss her evolving relationship with alcohol and how ditching it has unlocked new levels of creativity and happiness for her.
Abigail shares the pivotal moment at the end of 2020 when a particularly nasty hangover made her question her drinking habits. She realized that alcohol was not only stifling her creative potential but also keeping her from fully chasing her dreams. With a few sips of wine here and there to test the waters, she ultimately decided that alcohol had no place in her life.
The conversation between Kristen and Abigail is both candid and insightful, touching on the often-overlooked concept of being 'sober-curious'. Abigail talks about how the term 'sober' can sometimes feel too rigid for people who are simply trying to cut back or re-evaluate their relationship with alcohol. She emphasizes that there are many shades of gray in the recovery community and that everyone's journey is unique.
Listeners will find Abigail's story incredibly relatable and inspiring, especially those who are questioning their own drinking habits. She encourages others to dig deep and ask themselves why they drink, and if it's for the wrong reasons, to consider making a change. The episode highlights the profound impact that removing alcohol can have on one's creativity, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
If you're curious about how sobriety can fuel your passions or simply want to hear a compelling story of personal growth, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear how Abigail Olin has transformed her life by embracing a sober lifestyle and discover the possibilities that await when you take control of your own narrative.
