Don't be fooled; alcohol is a trick, not a treat.
I tell this story every Halloween since I've been sober, but you're going to hear it again because I KNOW there are some of you out there who need to hear it.
Five years ago, I took my son trick-or-treating and put wine in a red solo cup (classy). Between the rain showers, holding an umbrella, and trying to make sure my son wasn’t going to get hit by a car, I spilled RED WINE all over my jacket. Seriously, ALL OVER.
I was a hot mess, and I thought this was normal behavior. No, this isn’t normal, and my son didn’t deserve a mother who was more worried about having her sips of wine than watching his excitement.
This year my son is going with his friends, and I won't even be there, and to be honest, it makes me a little sad because it makes me reflect on what I missed out on in the past.
👉🏻 There were too many holidays that I prioritized alcohol over him.
👉🏻 Too many holidays that I missed out on memories.
👉🏻 Too many holidays that my mindset was garbage, and I was more irritated than happy.
And this is why I share my story and guide women to a life without alcohol because I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did. I don't want you looking back with regret for what you missed out on. Trust me. They grow up way too fast, and these moments you CANNOT get back.
Yes, some days are hard.
Yes, parenting can be challenging.
BUT dealing with the regret, guilt, hangovers, and all the shitty con's of drinking is even HARDER.
🎃 And this is why alcohol is a trick disguised as a treat.
