It wasn't the alcohol I craved. It was the relief. By Alyson Premo.

It wasn't the alcohol I craved. It was the relief.

The relief from overthinking.

The relief from sadness.

The relief from grief.

The relief from being awkward in social situations.

The relief from wondering what other people thought of me.

The relief from motherhood.

The relief from my past.

The relief from a broken heart.

The relief from pretending to have it all together.

It was never about the alcohol. It was about escaping reality.

When that first sip of alcohol hit my lips, it was like I could finally relax. I could finally not have to think about a damn thing. All my worries just melted away. Except when I woke up hungover wondering how much I even drank the night before, all the worries were still there. They didn't magically go away. They stayed there and, over time, became worse and worse. I let myself get deeper and deeper into a hole that became harder and harder to get out of no matter how hard I tried to get out.

At the end of my "drinking career", not even alcohol gave me that escape I was looking for. I was in pure hell. I was drinking to survive. And that is why I share my story and created Sober Mom Tribe because I don't ever want you to experience the hell that I did. If I can stop one mother from getting there, then my struggle was worth it.

So far, I've helped hundreds in 1:1 Coaching and the Alcohol-Free Challenges. And I would even say thousands in general who have messaged me about how this page or the @soberasamotherpodcast has helped them. So this page isn't just about what I offer in the coaching world, but I believe in these programs so much, and that is why I share them. I wish I had something like this BEFORE I became dependent.

With that said, TODAY is the LAST DAY to register for the 60 Day Alcohol-Free Challenge. This challenge isn't for those who are looking for a quick fix because there is none! This challenge is for those who are COMMITTED to getting uncomfortable, digging deeper to find out why alcohol has a grip on you and finding healthy ways to cope with the stressors of motherhood WITHOUT wine.
