The mental energy of drinking is exhausting.

When you quit drinking, there's no more wasted mental energy going back and forth about how many glasses of wine you've had, keeping yourself in check, or justifying that next drink.

There's just living in the moment.

This is what life is about—living in the moment.

I was speaking with a mom yesterday on a 1:1 call. By the way, I get a lot of content from mothers I speak with to show you that you're not alone. Chances are, if they're struggling with a situation or thought, many of you out there are struggling with it too.

But anyway, I digress. We talked about how when you're not drinking, you're not constantly worried about how many drinks you've had or if someone is going to know that you're drunk or the going back and forth of having "just one more". All of that noise is EXHAUSTING.

Now that the option of drinking is taken off the table, she can truly live in the moment and be present for it all.

Some of you may be thinking, but I don't want to be present. I'm socially awkward, and I used alcohol as my social lubricant. Well, look at it this way imagine how much more embarrassing and awkward you are when you get past the buzzed stage, and you're in the slurry, eyes glossed over, saying stupid things stage. I'd rather be socially awkward than look like a complete mess any day.

And honestly, it's not that bad to be present in those social situations. You're strengthening your resolve and watching other people get drunk and look like an idiot, which is another great lesson of why to stay on this alcohol-free path.

All 3 spots have been filled for the 30 Day 1:1 Program (Bye Bye Booze...Hello Freedom!), but I'm opening up ONE more spot to a mother who is serious about committing to an alcohol-free lifestyle. Message me (@sobermomcoach) to see if this program would be a good fit for you!
