Thank you for this wonderful story! I relate to everything you shared because I lived it myself...and once I realized all the harm drinking was inflicting on my body, mind,life, family and relationships in a series of overwhelming wake up calls, i ended all drinking of anything alcoholic through consciously eliminating all ideas of needing it, then wanting it, then liking and enjoying it and finally installed my heart response so that even seeing bottles in stores as something disgusting that no longer had any hold on me whatsoever...and then continuously reinforcing that revulsion and making a pact with myself to not even taste or be around it ever again!
Bravo to you dear one! I now love iced tea and other delicious drinks i make myself as what i drink! I even eliminated kombucha because of its alcohol content. Good for you girl! Now you are on the high road, rather than the low road going ever lower!
“The new room in my brain lends itself to creative bursts and a good night’s sleep. My mind is clear. I am no longer concerned with planning, shopping, or obtaining my next dose of alcohol. I never realized how much energy all that took away from me.”
I'm really proud of you! My drug of choice was cocaine (10 years), but I indulged in gray-area drinking as well. I also don't know what one drink a year means to my clean time either, but decided to just give it up period in mid-July. There's an organization in Denver called The Phoenix that I just joined that has the same 48 hour requirement.
Bingo! That’s where I worked except in their New Jersey location. I forgot you live in Colorado. I'm glad you found them, Ana. The Phoenix is a great organization doing great work.
Your story is so unique and I am glad that you are telling it. I love that yoga and helping those struggling is what brought you to give up alcohol. So cool! :)
