I've been right where you are...

 Over-drinking on repeat is actually traumatizing to our self-esteem, confidence and belief in ourselves. It steals our hope and belief that things can be different.

I want you to know I understand what it feels like to try things and for it to not work. 

 I was in that struggle for 20+ years, saying I wouldn't drink, then breaking the promise to myself over and over and over again, swearing I'd start again on Monday or next month or after this vacation or whatever.. and sometimes I would but it wouldn't last.

I remember the worst was when I came home from work one night (had swore I wasn't drinking that night) and grabbed a bottle of wine and a glass and locked myself in my room away from the kids and my husband. I didn't come out until I had properly numbed my racing mind and overwhelm. When I came out, the kids were already in bed and it was quiet.

It was then that I realized I didn't actually want to miss out on that, that alcohol was interrupting the kind of mother I wanted to be (among many other things it blocked me from doing). It wasn't long after that I finally got the support I needed in all aspects of my life and changed everything.

What I learned is that I had an over-desire for alcohol.

And just like me, the problem is not YOU, it's how we are programmed as humans and it's actually not even a problem, it's just our primitive wiring. We are wired to seek pleasure, avoid pain and save energy.

So when you drink when you want to feel something different, you train your brain to seek out alcohol again when you feel a familiar feeling. Over-time, this repeated behavior, becomes an engrained well worn pattern and it often feels like it's impossible to break.

But the good news, IT ISN'T!

You can learn how to use this primitive human operating system to your advantage and break the patterns you have with alcohol and create new well worn pathways that will last.

Another part of the problem is that our society has conditioned us to be ashamed of drinking too much and we don't seek out help or talk about it, so we are left to feel like we should be able to do this alone or unable to find programs or support that let's us explore our relationship with alcohol and only know of options that require you to swear off alcohol forever. So, we don't get the help we need and we continue suffering alone.

And lastly, often the biggest problem of all, is that we think we can't change.
We are often our own biggest obstacle to overcome. When you have tried what feels like a thousand things and haven't had much success, it makes sense that we think this way, BUT IT DOESN'T HELP. What does help is learning how to believe in ourselves and what is available for us in our future, instead of looking to our past for evidence of it working. 

'The past cannot be changed, the future is yet in your power. - Mary Pickford

Take it from someone (me) who changed 20+ years of repetitive behavior and loads of failures in trying to change, YOU CAN DO IT. 

All it takes is thinking it might be possible, finding the right support and container to let you explore your relationship with alcohol.  and then taking the next best action you can think of... NEED AN IDEA? Join Alive AF!

The support I decided to get was to join a life coaching program, of all things! I didn't even know what a life coach was at the time. But, it was so impactful and helped me so much, that I decided to become a life coach myself because I just knew that if I could figure this out, anyone could!

Fast forward, to six years later, not only do I not drink at all and have no desire for alcohol, I have helped thousands of women change their relationship with alcohol, forever. They have better family lives now, improved relationships, career changes, retirements, new adventures and so much more. They have learned how to handle the challenges that come thier way without needing alcohol to get through it. They have figured out what kind of relationship they want to have with alcohol, on their terms, inside the safe, loving, and non-judgemental programs I offer. And you can too.

What do I get?

I want this to feel super easy and doable for you. I want to create a space that encourages trying new things, and ultimate support and care when we fall down.

This group will lift you up, help you believe in yourself, and get back to going after your goals to stop over-drinking.
