Summary

When she began the process of deciding whether to try to moderate her drinking or completely remove alcohol from her life, Victoria took a quiz to figure out her core values. The results didn’t tell her anything new - she was already aware of her core values. However, what she realized is that when she had alcohol in her system, she was not living with integrity. From anxiety to marriage to divorce to marriage to motherhood (times four) to a cancer diagnosis and treatment to finding freedom from alcohol, This Naked Mind coach Victoria shares her story and how she's brought her behavior and beliefs into alignment.

Are you looking to connect with like-minded people? Sometimes maybe you feel like you have all this information from doing This Naked Mind or The Alcohol Experiment, but you’re living in a world where people don’t speak your language.

That is why I created The Exchange. The Exchange from This Naked Mind is an online community where we meet face to face, live with video calls multiple times a week with people from all over the world just to connect and have somewhere that you are seen, you are heard, and you feel less alone. A place where you can really give back and get the support you need. If this sounds great to you, check it out at www.thisnakedmind.com/exchange.

And as always, rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast, as it truly helps the message reach somebody who might need to hear it today.

0:20.4	Hi, this is Annie Grace and welcome to this naked mind podcast. I'm here with Victoria.
0:31.8	Hi Victoria. Hey Annie. How are you? I'm great. Thanks for having me.
0:37.6	Good. I'm so excited to hear your story. The words, you know bits and pieces of it and I'm
0:42.1	excited to put the whole put all the dots together. So what, why don't you kind of take me back to
0:47.4	the beginning for you? Where did it all start? Okay. Well, I was thinking about this and
0:55.0	something came to me in the middle of the night and I know you are so gracious to have so many guests
1:01.6	share their stories and before I get started with mine, I just wanted to share that one of the things
1:09.9	that I found in, um, while drinking before I became milk all free is that, um, no matter what your
1:18.8	story and we all have a different one, but I found that a similar theme that we all share is that
1:26.0	while we are drinking, um, our lives don't really align with our core values and one of the
1:33.9	exercises I did as I was going through the process of, you know, deciding to moderate or become
1:40.4	completely alcohol free was, I came across a really simple quiz. It took me about five minutes and
1:45.3	it was just to figure out what are my core values and when I saw the results of the quiz, I wasn't
1:54.5	surprised because they, they are my core values. But then someone posed a question to me and said,
2:01.7	how do those core values line up with you when you have alcohol in your system? And that was really
2:09.6	a big moment for me. So I just wanted to start with that because I think, regardless of how we got
2:15.0	to where we are listening to your podcast, obviously, whoever's listening is thinking about
2:18.8	the relationship with alcohol. But, um, I think that's just a great core question that we can ask
2:24.4	ourselves, like, what are our core values and how does, how do I, when I'm in the, in that world
2:32.4	of drinking, how do I show up according to those values, am I aligned with those values? So, I don't
