We all have to remember that, whether that's just that you're having a drink after work on a Friday night to relax, right through to an alcoholic who wants to completely wipe themselves out and numb themselves, the thing we have to remember is that we're trying to change the way we feel.
Ever wondered if struggling with alcohol means you're an alcoholic? Sharon Mitchell's story might change your perspective. In this episode of IAMACOMEBACK, host Mark Jennison chats with Sharon, founder of Flourish, about her personal battles with drinking and the misconceptions surrounding alcohol addiction. Sharon opens up about how she hit rock bottom, experiencing three alcoholic seizures and being told by a doctor that she might not survive.
But instead of giving up, she chose to change her life by changing her drinking habits. Sharon believes that not everyone who struggles with alcohol is an alcoholic. She argues that many people who face these challenges drink 'normally' but still need to make changes for their health and happiness. If you've tried to quit drinking before and it didn't stick, Sharon suggests this could be a sign of a deeper issue.
She also highlights the health benefits of going alcohol-free, even if it's not a permanent choice. The conversation also touches on the impact of changing drinking habits on relationships. Sharon acknowledges that making positive changes can sometimes lead to tough decisions, like ending a marriage. However, she encourages listeners to remember their worth and the importance of making choices that lead to a healthier, happier life.
Tune in to hear Sharon's inspiring journey and learn how you can redefine your relationship with alcohol.
