Honor Your Why
Episode 315
There will always be a reason to drink after quitting alcohol, but don't forget why you decided to stop in the first place.
If you’re a midlife woman working on living an alcohol-free lifestyle - I’m so proud of you! Even when you dedicate yourself to sobriety, you may find yourself questioning whether or not, it’s worth it to keep going.
I questioned my sobriety and tried to talk myself out of it multiple times during my first year, but my “why” (aka why-power) kept me going.
During this episode, I share with you a journal reflection (see a copy below) that I wrote on 6/30/14 at 11 months sober where I was questioning my choice.
I talk about where I was the night I quit drinking, 8/11/13, and how I believed that I didn’t have the willpower or discipline actually to stay alcohol-free.
I also discuss how to remind yourself why you don’t want to drink more than why you do throughout the day.
This episode serves as a reminder that your "why-power" - your deep, personal reasons for choosing sobriety - will always be more meaningful than the temporary escape alcohol provides.
Keep moving forward on your alcohol-free journey because the life you're creating is waiting for you.
I’m with you.

As mentioned in this episode, my journal page from June 30, 2014. This is the reflection that I wrote and kept separate as a “note to myself” so I would never forget my “why-power.”
