#37. You Don't Need A Sad Story (Don't Do What I Did)

Send me a message 🤗FREE COURSE: OVERCOMING THE HURDLESSHOW QUOTES “You do not need a sad story to decide that you want to start to look at your relationship with alcohol.” “It was the, you know, two or three days where I just felt subpar. 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 ===🌱 Ready for real change in the way you drink? - https://www.lownodrinker.com/4weekreset===🗝️ Become a Vault member to get access to the moderation tools that actually help - https://mindfuldrinking.substack.com/s/the-vault===✏️ Come hang out with me on Substack - https://mindfuldrinking.substack.com/===❓ Take the Midlife Drinking Triggers Quiz - https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/68dd33385bb4a20015996a13===*Some links are affiliate links.
