Hey Thrivers! You are in for another treat this week.

I am chatting with my friend, peer and colleague, Rachel Coll about her experience with sobriety. This is extremely valuable because as we start to approach the holidays and social engagements we must consider what we indulge in and why.

You are going to hear us discuss how we often use alcohol or even sweets to feel temporary relive from an uncomfortable emotion. During COVID, Rachel completed nine months of sorority and she found that dealing with uncomfortable situation while sober wasn’t any harder than when she drank. She notice that alcohol only postponed the discomfort but never got rid of it and whatever discomfort she felt she escape from in the moment that she made the decision to drink or over drink would just come back tenfold the next day in the form of a hangover.

Once alcohol was no longer a buffer she had to face her uncomfortable emotions and process them. What she found is that she had tolerated so much when she was putting alcohol  her body and without the alcohol she saw that she had options. She could choose to be uncomfortable or exit a situation that makes her uncomfortable. Drinking to tolerate anything doe snot have to be your only option, you can choose to leave a situation, a party, a job, a relationship that makes you uncomfortable. You get to choose. 

This is another juicy conversation that you dont want to miss. Press play to join in now.
