None of these living entities will regret that you didn't drink last night. Now, it takes bravery and courage to take this path, the path towards wholeness, which isn't always easy.
What if the key to a happier life was simply saying no to alcohol? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Emily, a 44-year-old from Phoenix, AZ, shares her story of quitting drinking on March 10th, 2019. Emily opens up about her struggles with fitting in and the pressure to maintain a certain image, which led her to use alcohol as a coping mechanism for past pain and trauma.
She reveals how finding a supportive community and prioritizing self-care and mental health have been pivotal in her recovery journey. Emily also talks about the transformative power of changing her perspective, allowing her to find joy in life's simple pleasures. The conversation touches on the broader impacts of alcohol, including how it can create a disconnect between our true selves and who we aspire to be.
Emily candidly discusses the challenges of parenting while under the influence and the importance of finding healthier ways to manage stress and anxiety. By stepping into her own strengths and sharing her experiences, Emily has not only advanced her own healing but also inspired others to embark on their own paths to recovery. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the courage it takes to quit drinking and the beautiful life that can follow.
