Look at you, mama. Healing, growing and doing hard things that you thought you could never do before.
Do you realize what you're doing? Do you realize that you're going against the grain of what society tells you is the way to "get through" motherhood? Do you realize that you are stepping out of your comfort zone in order to give yourself and your kids a chance at a better life?
This isn't an easy thing to do. And minimizing your efforts is a disservice to yourself. I talk to so many moms who say, "I ONLY have 5 days of not drinking", or "not drinking shouldn't be celebrated because it's no big deal."
Um, no. We are done minimizing all the hard work we're doing. You have 5 days of not drinking that someone else is so desperately wanting to have. And not drinking in a society where alcohol is at the center of EVERYTHING is a big f*cking deal. Stop thinking it isn't because it is.
It's time to start celebrating and patting yourself on the back for...
🎉Making it through your first weekend without drinking
🎉Making it through your first social event without drinking
🎉Making it through your first holiday without drinking
🎉Telling a friend that you've taken a break from alcohol or that you've quit all together
🎉Declining an invite because you don't really want to go. You always just felt obligated to go.
🎉Having a difficult conversation with your significant other that you normally would've avoided.
See how these wins aren't just about alcohol?
It's not just about the alcohol, mamas. It's about the way you put yourself last on the list. It's the negative way you talked to yourself. And it's the way that you didn't want to express how you felt for fear of rocking the boat or rejection.
F*ck walking on eggshells and escaping by drinking so that you don't have to deal with hard issues.
Doesn't it feel amazing to do all these things that you thought you could never do before?
I'm ready to celebrate the f*ck out of you and all you will be accomplishing on this alcohol-free journey!
