True strength is not partaking in a substance that's glorified everywhere.
ππ» Where are the moms who were trapped in the drinking cycle?
ππ» Where are the moms who released the grip alcohol held over them?
You are TRUE STRENGTH.
The people who were never trapped in the cycle don't understand what we went through.
ππ» They don't understand why we turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism.
ππ» They don't understand the constant struggle at the beginning.
ππ» They don't understand why we just can't stop.
ππ» They don't understand why we just can't have one.
Essentially they don't understand what the big deal is. And that's ok. We can't make someone understand something that they've never personally been through. We can educate and tell them our journey, but that still doesn't mean they will get it.
Society glamorizes alcohol for EVERYTHING, and here we are with our blinders on trying to dodge the marketing of Big Alcohol, our friends, and our family. And every damn day, we do it. Because guess what?
π₯ You are stronger than you ever give yourself credit for.
π₯ You are a mom who is breaking generational patterns.
π₯ You are a mom who goes against the grain.
π₯ You are a mom who is teaching your children resilience and perseverance.
π₯ You are a mom who is speaking your truth for the greater good of the world.
These are the real-life lessons they will remember from us, so when you want to spiral into shame and guilt, remind yourself of everything you have shown them that doesn't have to do with your alcohol-induced past.
But you have to be willing to put down the bottle first so they can see that mom is already within you.
β You ready to do that?
