Life will be filled with challenges, but I promise you can stay sober through all of them. By Alyson Premo.

Life will be filled with challenges, but I promise you can stay sober through all of them.

If the past year has taught us anything, it's that there will always be challenges in our lives. Those don't go away just because we get sober.

There will be people who pass away that we love. There will be break-ups. There will be friendships that fade away. There will be job losses. There will be all these things in life that we try to numb and run away from. But the thing is, you can't. At some point, you're going to have to deal with what is going on around you.

The grief, sadness, frustration, overwhelm, and anxiety doesn't just go away. Every time you suppress those feelings, you're bottling them up so that they will come back with fury later.

After you're done drowning yourself with booze, that's when all the feelings rise to the surface, and you're left dealing with things from childhood, a loss of a loved one, or whatever you were drinking to cope with in the first place.

Yes, I know it's uncomfortable and hard to deal with everything you're used to running from, but the new hard of facing the challenges head-on is way better than staying stuck in a cycle that only keeps making it harder. At least when we start dealing with things head-on, we can resolve them and let them go, so we no longer feel trapped in the endless cycle.

Challenges are a natural part of life, and it all depends on how you view them. Do you view them as an opportunity to learn and grow? Or do you view challenges as a way to use excuses for why you can't stay sober?

If you keep using the excuse that life is too hard now to stop drinking, then you're just prolonging the inevitable. Because life will always throw challenges our way, but I can tell you that it's easier to handle these challenges without alcohol and a clear mind.

Are you done with the excuses you keep telling yourself for why you can't quit drinking?

Then join 39 other mothers and me for the Confidently Be Alcohol-Free - 60 Day Challenge. I'm not asking you to quit drinking forever. What is forever anyway? I'm asking you to take a break for 60 days and reassess.
