There can be a third pill option, which is where you know- I mean I'm riffing on president Obama- and that, oh for speech where he famously said, you know, there's not a red America and a blue America, there's the purple America, and I hopefully I'm not completely butchering that beautiful speech that he made.
Meet Elmer Velasco, a 43-year-old El Salvadoran immigrant who moved to the U.S. at just 12 years old. For decades, Elmer believed that alcohol was a staple of male adulthood, a belief ingrained in him by societal norms. However, as he began raising his own sons, he realized he needed to rethink his relationship with alcohol. In this episode of 'I Kissed Alcohol Goodbye', Elmer opens up about his journey through what he calls the 'Alcohol Matrix'.
He shares how he questioned long-held beliefs and reframed his mindset to break free from the grip of alcohol. His candid and heartfelt story is not just about quitting drinking; it's about discovering a new way to live fully present and connected with others. Elmer's genuine joy and positive outlook have been a source of inspiration for many in the sobriety community, especially during those tough early days.
His insights remind us that there's a world where happiness doesn't require a drink in hand. If you're looking for a relatable and uplifting story about breaking stigmas around sobriety and finding strength in connection, this episode is a must-listen.
