For a long time I was focused on answering the que

For a long time I was focused on answering the question:‘How can I control my drinking?’.It took me a a long time to realise the question I should have been asking is:‘Why can’t I control my drinking?’Then, in January 2020, I participated in a 30 day program that changed my life, and gave me all the answers I needed.Ad: Those that have been following me for a long time will know I speak about the Live Alcohol Experiment run by Annie Grace and the team at This Naked Mind loudly and passionately.I have referred so many people to this program since completing it, so I was thrilled when the team asked if I’d partner with them. My answer was an immediate “Yes”!If you are questioning your relationship with alcohol, wondering why you can’t ‘just have one’, or create rules around alcohol and constantly break them, this program is for you.Or maybe you’re trying to make healthier choices and you want to educate yourself on how alcohol affects your mind and body, so you can make an informed decision about what role it will play in your life.It would also be perfect for anyone who has stopped drinking or cut down, but finding bad habits creeping back in. The best bit? It’s not a quit drinking program. It’s about education and changing your mindset around alcohol. You are free to choose if, when, and how much you drink. No guilt trip, no shame, just facts.The next round of the Live Alcohol Experiment starts on May 1st and I’ve put an affiliate link to sign up in my bio.I’m SO passionate about this program and all it stands for. It’s incredible the mindset shift that can take place in only 30 days. This program honestly changed my life.If you have any questions about the program, feel free to DM me anytime.

✨1 YEAR ALCOHOL FREE✨ It’s official, I am 1

✨1 YEAR ALCOHOL FREE✨It’s official, I am 1 year alcohol free.And what a year it has been!I stopped drinking just as the uncertainty of Covid hit and we were in lockdown. While for some people this might have been the easiest time to stop drinking because the social pressures weren’t there, for me personally it was never my social drinking that troubled me.It was the drinking I did at home, alone, with the kids in the next room. And during lockdown and for much of the last year I found myself at home, alone (with the kids) for very long days, for months on end.I honestly shudder to think what that time would have been like if I drank my way through it and am thankful every day that I changed my drinking habits prior.I have connected with so many wonderful people in the last year.It’s a beautiful thing that happens when you put yourself out there and are honest and vulnerable about something that to many is considered taboo - like admitting you have a problem with alcohol. It gives others permission to open up and be honest and vulnerable too. That’s when the best conversation happens and the deepest friendships are made.Abstaining from alcohol hasn’t solved all my problems. Responsibilities are still there, there are still bad days and lots of challenges. But it is so much easier to manage these things without a hangover and the anxiety that alcohol caused.One of the things I am proudest of is the example I am setting for our kids. They’ve gone from seeing me drink almost every day and using alcohol as a ‘problem solver’, to finding new, healthier ways to manage challenging days and emotions.There are so many other things I could say, and this year has been full of lessons, but most of all I want to say THANK YOU for coming on this crazy ride with me. I am so grateful for you. 💛

It’s Virgin Sangria time! It was so much fun cr

It’s Virgin Sangria time!It was so much fun creating this gorgeous non-alcoholic Sangria.Perfect for a crowd, easy to make, AND it looks just gorgeous - I’ll be saving this one for Christmas!In other news, I have finally found, after a year of searching, an alcohol free red wine that hits the spot for me. Thank you @edenvalewines for gifting me this Premium Reserve Pinot Noir that worked perfectly for this recipe.It has ripe red and dark fruit characters, but is still quite savoury and not too sweet. I love that it doesn’t fall away at the finish like so many alcohol free reds.Even better, the alcohol is removed in such a way that the healthy antioxidants and vitamins from the grapes is maintained.An alcohol free red with health benefits? Yes please!You can find the link to the recipe in my bio. And if you don’t have access to Edenvale, a medium bodied fruity red works perfectly for this Sangria. Cheers and enjoy!
