Not every time I drank was bad, but the "fun" times never outweighed the hangovers, regret, crippling anxiety, and shame that I felt the next day.
Sometimes there can be this misconception that every time we drank, something bad happened, or we woke up the next day feeling like we wanted to die from a massive hangover. There were some times where I had a buzz and didn't drink to excess, but let's be honest, I could count those times on one hand. When I drank, I saw no point in having one.
People who leave half a glass of wine at a restaurant?
People who drink only a couple of times a year?
People whose lives don't revolve around where they can have a drink?
☝🏻 All foreign concepts to me.
When I went all in, I went ALL in until I passed out or had no alcohol left.
But also, see how I put fun in quotations? Because what really is the definition of fun? We've been conditioned that the only way to have fun is with alcohol, but that's not true at all. Kids have fun, and they don't drink.
Stop letting society, your friends, and your family dictate what the meaning of fun is to you.
❌ Fun isn't slurring your words.
❌ Fun isn't being able to remember how you put the kids to bed.
❌ Fun isn't blacking out.
❌ Fun isn't waking up at 3 am with crippling anxiety.
❌ Fun isn't saying things you regret.
❌ Fun isn't doing things that aren't in alignment with your values.
Fun is creating memories with your kids.
Fun is finding activities that truly bring you joy, not a superficial high.
Fun is being around people that you don't have to put a facade on for. You are unapologetically yourself - no hiding.
Fun is exploring what lights you up, not what someone tells you you're supposed to do.
