How to Stop Drinking When You Haven't Destroyed Your Life

What if your drinking makes you unhappy, but your life is still manageable? What if you've experienced negative consequences, but it's never enough to stop drinking for good? What are we supposed to do when we don't have a rock bottom moment to propel us into sobriety? I asked my alcohol-free bff Blair to come on and talk to us about this. Blair was a binge drinker who did not drink every day, had a good job, a family, and a stable life. She has been alcohol-free since February 2018 and in this video we discuss how she quit drinking without serious consequences or a rock bottom moment, how she handles social events without drinking, if she ever wondered if she could drink socially, and what tools she used for support in her journey. This is a very inspirational conversation that you won't want to miss. 0:00 Intro 1:32 Why I asked Blair to come on 3:11 Blair's story 6:38 Why didn't you drink every day? 8:26 Did you try to quit drinking before? 9:22 How her drinking affected her marriage 11:03 Quitting without a rock bottom moment 12:10 The last night Blair drank 14:07 Resources that Blair used to help her stop drinking 14:56 Did you know you'd never drink again when you first stopped? 16:39 How was socializing when you first stopped drinking? 18:11 Telling your friends you're not drinking 19:14 How being social changed over time 20:18 Do you ever feel sad or that you're missing out? 22:24 How can someone stop using the "I'm not that bad" excuse? 24:49 It doesn't matter how much you drink 25:39 Blair's favorite resources and tips to get started 29:05 Inspiration: we think we need alcohol, but we don't Resources mentioned: https://www.scarymommy.com/other-moms... https://www.scarymommy.com/scary-momm...
