I was operating at 60% capacity"======SHOW NOTES It's easy to compare ourselves with others in all walks of life but it's very rarely helpful. I used to compare myself to others in the low/no space and feel like a fraud, like I didn't belong. Why? Because I didn't stop drinking as a result of addiction, I didn't hit rock bottom and then claw my way out; I'm not an alcoholic, and I never joined a program. I just decided that alcohol wasn't the right choice for me, and that made me feel like my choice wasn't worth sharing as much as others. But I was wrong. In this week's solocast (new word of the week), I'm sharing my story so that you know it's perfectly ok to share yours.======BEST EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT======#19 You don't have to be an alcoholic to want to rethink your drinking#22 The Moderating Middle ===You can email me at [email protected]===🗝️ Join the membership and unlock full access to The Vault - https://mindfuldrinking.substack.com/s/the-vault===*Some links are affiliate links.
