Welcome back, everyone, to another episode here.

This is not going to be a story episode.

This is just for anyone who feels they're struggling with getting or staying sober, putting down the alcohol.

And here are nine questions I want you to consider.

Ask yourself this.

What is keeping alcohol in your life costing you?

We obviously have the surface level stuff that may or not be obvious.

Hangovers, increased anxiety,

how are you showing up daily? And some deeper effects are not really knowing how to work through

our emotions, relationships with others, relationship with our self-worth, and our ability to fully

experience life. Over time, we also lose trust in

ourselves as the cycle continues. Think about all the mornings that we wake up and we commit to,

we took it a little bit too far the night before. So we say today, I'm not drinking, or this

weekend, I'm not drinking, or for this event, I'm not drinking. or I'm just going to have one and we constantly just break those promises with ourselves.

That doesn't really set us up for a good standard of living.

If we're saying we're going to do stuff when we don't follow through with it, every time we don't follow through with it, it actually makes it easier the next time to not follow

through with stuff. It's like, well, I've done it before, so I'll just do it again and what's the big

deal? So we lose that trust with ourselves over time. Second question, don't you think if you

could do it on your own, you would have it's so interesting right with the

countless messages that i've gotten over the years that's where everybody says i'm drinking again

and i'll ask them you know what's going on do you have any support or you plugged into anything and

nine times out of 10 97% of the time is not plugged in with anything.
