Why Mommy Doesn't Drink
Because you deserve me at my very best
It's a poor example of how to cope with life.
It gives me anxiety.
It increases my sadness.
I don't want to miss any more moments with YOU.
The best thing you can do for your kids is to have a conversation with them about why you don't drink. Tell them how alcohol makes you feel and what it does to you.
You finding out that alcohol isn't the way to cope with life is the best learning experience you can give to your kids. Maybe they saw you drinking more times than not. Maybe they say your favorite drink is wine. But this is your chance to turn it around. This is your chance to say "mommy made a mistake" or "mommy succumbed to peer pressure," or "mommy didn't know any better, but now she does".
This is how we change the view of alcohol. One person at a time using our story as a means to show others that alcohol isn't all that it's cracked up to be. That you heard alcohol is an acceptable coping mechanism and fell prey to the mommy wine culture, but now you know better. And now you know the actual effects of alcohol on our mind, body, and soul.
Apologize for things you did under the influence and show them that it's ok to make mistakes. I always say these real-life lessons teach them more than school ever will, and it's the truth.
These are hard conversations to have, but they are important ones.

It's about forming connections with other women at a similar point in their journey. EVERY DAY someone in the challenge is saying how grateful they are to have finally found a place where they can share while being held accountable and gaining insight around why you keep turning to alcohol and what you can do to break out of that pattern.
