SLOW. DOWN. BABE.

SLOW. DOWN. BABE.

You don't have to rush this part.

Time for real talk. When I stopped drinking, I was exhausted. For about three months, it felt like I had just stepped off a long-haul flight. There were nights when I would sleep like a rock and have a burst of energy, but then by noon, I could have gone back to bed for the entire day.

But before I started the process, I made a firm decision to face this journey with positive emotion, and any physical symptoms in the beginning - while detoxing from alcohol- was my body healing.

I don't know about you, babe, but I spent DECADES drinking. We can't expect to heal from that overnight.

We have to let ourselves heal.

Unfortunately, what I see in my coaching practice is that women will go a few days not drinking, only to feel still crummy and throw in the towel. They don't think the journey is worth it because they don't feel like a new person after a week.

Healing takes time. Yes, it's uncomfortable initially, but it won't last forever.

The healing, just like the cravings, is temporary. But dealing with the temporary discomfort of healing is worth what is coming.

What has your healing journey looked like?
