I couldn't go one day without drinking, thinking about drinking, or hungover. Now here I am 5 YEARS SOBER, sharing my story and helping tens of thousands of women examine their relationship with alcohol and normalizing sobriety.
DO NOT GIVE UP.
I (@alysonpremo), too, was just like you.
👉🏻 I binge drank in college because that's what everyone did. No harm in kids just being kids without their parents around, right? I went to classes and got A's, so nothing was wrong with my drinking.
👉🏻 I got my first "real" job and drank on the weekends. Got a little too tipsy at work events or happy hours, but I was fine, and everyone did that—no harm in letting loose.
👉🏻 I went out on dates, blacked out, and couldn't remember how I ended up in bed with random men. Memes say that's funny, so I'm good.
👉🏻 I became a single mom at 26 and was told the way to get rid of the overwhelm and stress was to have some wine. That's how all parents get through motherhood, right?
👉🏻 Both my grandparents died in a 9-month span, and I used alcohol not to have to deal with their loss. Nothing wrong with that; everyone uses alcohol to numb out their pain.
No one warns you about the progression from being a social drinker to someone with Alcohol Use Disorder.
No one warns you about how badly you want to stop drinking, but you just can't.
No one warns you that alcohol will make you become a shell of a human being.
No one warns you that breaking up with booze will be one of the hardest things you will have to undertake in this lifetime.
❌ All the suppressed emotions and trauma I shoved down for a decade came to the surface on November 14, 2016, and that was the day I said I'm ready to face my demons and walked into detox. The hardest and best day of my life because now I no longer need alcohol to live.
BECAUSE I'M F*CKING FREE.
I share my story as a warning to you, and this isn't to scare you. This is to wake you the f*ck up to what could happen if you continue to let yourself off the hook. If you continue to normalize drinking because that's what others do, or that's what you've been conditioned to believe.
Don't fall for the trap!
