“Mommy needs cocaine.”See how ridiculous that sounds? Wine is a drug. Period. Stop perpetuating the narrative that mothers need a drug to survive motherhood.

Someone the other day said I couldn’t equate alcohol with heroin and cocaine. Um, why not? A drug is a drug. Just because alcohol is legal for those over 21 in the United States doesn’t mean it isn’t a drug.

The definition of a drug is...

"a habit-forming medicinal or illicit substance, especially a narcotic."

Society and Big Alcohol have convinced you otherwise. They've convinced you that alcohol isn't a drug. That it isn't "as bad" as heroin or cocaine. Is that true, though, and what does "as bad" mean? They all get you to the same place of addiction or death.

Start replacing wine with cocaine or heroin when you see these memes, shirts, or whatever other product someone tries to sell with the overused, not even funny sayings. It doesn't sound as cute anymore, does it? Sounds pretty awful and ridiculous, right? That's because it is.

Selling a drug to get through life and motherhood? What kind of world are we living in where this is normal and acceptable?

I'm so thankful that more mothers and people, in general, are talking about alcohol and its harmful effects on ANYONE. Not just to those who are dependent on it to survive. And just as I typed this, I got an "aha" moment. Maybe you're not physically dependent or living with Alcohol Use Disorder, but you're still dependent on it to get through life, so I guess most are dependent on it to survive. The more you know 🌈
