I don't know who needs to hear this, but just because it's a holiday doesn't mean you have to drink today.
Today is Labor Day in the U.S. and many of us back in the day or even to this day use it as another excuse to get loaded.
FYI - the pros don't need a holiday to drink. Seriously I'm kidding, but it's the truth. We can find any reason in the world to drink, whether it's a holiday or not, so why the big deal around holiday drinking?
Because it's socially acceptable to?
Because the people you're hanging around are drinking?
Because you're able to fly under the radar with how much you're drinking?
Because we associate alcohol with celebrating?
Newsflash for you - alcohol isn't the only way you can celebrate.
I know that you may be accustomed to celebrating with alcohol in the past, but you can change that story. Just because you've always done it doesn't mean it's the best way to celebrate either, right?
I would much rather remember whatever I'm celebrating than wake up the day next with a hangover and no recollection of the so-called "fun" I was having.
And for the people that have to function tomorrow on a 3-day bender. Good luck with that. I DO NOT miss those days. Even just thinking about it makes me want to dry heave.
Who else is staying sober with me today? Drop an emoji in the comments!
Are you waking up yet again on another Monday wondering why you go back to drinking time and time again when it makes you feel mentally and physically horrible?
Are you done trying to do this on your own?
I have ONE spot left for my signature 90 Day 1:1 Coaching Program, where I guide you through barely surviving to thriving without alcohol. All you do is remove that ONE THING, and you will see how every area of your life improves. But the way to do that isn't on our own, having no accountability or support.
I (@alysonpremo) can help you, but the first thing you need to do is reach out.
