Does your mind go to the worst-case scenario in early sobriety?

Jan 25, 2021

Our minds tend to go to the worst-case scenario in early sobriety.

That we'll lose all our friends, never have fun again, and hate our lives.
This thinking is absolutely false! Don't feed the fears!

If you read my post on @sobermomtribe this morning, you know that my car wouldn't start this morning. My mind went to the worst-case scenario first. What was that? That I needed a new battery. Guess what? I just needed a jump, and he said the battery was still good just to keep it running for a half hour to an hour.

I thought I would have to pay for a whole new battery ($166 plus tax), but I didn't even have to pay 1 cent. Funny how for a lot of us, our mind goes to the worst-case scenario first. At the same time, the worst-case scenario isn't even that bad in the grand scheme of things. At least in this case with my car. So what? I had to pay a little extra money. Was it in my budget for this month? No, but that just gives me extra motivation to keep showing up on here and providing programs that you mamas want and need to get out of this drinking cycle.

When we quit drinking, our worst-case scenario tends to be...
πŸ‘‰πŸ»I'm going to lose all my friends,
πŸ‘‰πŸ»Never have fun again,
πŸ‘‰πŸ»Hate my life.

Talk about overdramatic and wallowing in self-pity.

πŸ‘‰πŸ»We MAY lose a few superficial friendships but is that what you want at this stage in your life? Relationships based on alcohol? No thanks.
πŸ‘‰πŸ»We have a lot more fun NOT drinking. No hangovers. More energy. More time for what really lights us up instead of mindlessly drinking our life away.

These are the mindset shifts we talk through in the 90 Day 1:1 Coaching Program. I only open this program once every quarter, and NOW is the time. There's only ONE spot available (maybe two?) I haven't decided yet. But in any case, this is an opportunity that doesn't come around often, so if you're ready to transform your drinking habits and mindset not only around alcohol but the beliefs that are holding you back from other areas of your life, then this is for YOU!

Coaching is a commitment not only time-wise but financially, so to make sure you're a good fit, I've created an application for you. Once submitted, I will contact you within 24 hours to book a time to chat.

The link is in my bio to apply or message me directly!
