Just like we’re waking up to the toxic food all around us, women are recognizing the poison (physically, emotionally, and spiritually) that alcohol is in their lives and bodies.
#sober #sobercurious #soberwomen #sobermom #sobermomsoftiktok #sobrietyrocks #sobrietyjourney For too many years, we were trying to “keep up with the boys” and have some fun instead of being the “responsible” ones. As it turns out, drinking isn’t the answer to our unfulfilled, overstimulated, hyper-driven lives. Maybe we thought it was, but we were wrong. Maybe they told us it was, but they lied. And some of you — with biological predispositions, trauma, and younger start dates — were more devastated than others. That’s not your fault. It really isn’t. We didn’t know when we had our first drink. We didn’t know when we had a glass of wine to relax. We didn’t know when we drowned our heartbreaks together over margaritas. We didn’t know when we laughed at our hangovers and told ourselves it was normal. We didn’t know when we couldn’t remember last night. They said we were in our 20s & cie la vie… We didn’t know when our drinking led to fights & phone calls We didn’t know when we “needed” a drink a week after giving birth. But once we knew, it was the greatest of gaslighting. There was an issue, but everyone said there wasn’t. Everyone said to have a glass of wine because you deserve it, you stressed out mom, you. Finally, you stopped believing it was all good. And you learned a few things you couldn’t unlearn.
