Reframing "Time Wasted" Drinking

Episode 316 

Hey there! 

If you're working on living alcohol-free in midlife and beyond, I'm VERY proud of you! You are making a positive change in your life. 

I know what it's like to live with the regret of drinking. In midlife, it's an especially challenging time to face these feelings. 

If you're feeling like maybe it’s too late to change your drinking, it’s not! 

You're not alone if you get those “cringy” memories from your drinking or think, I should have done things differently. 

I'm with you on this and we will face it together. 

In this episode, I talk about my two biggest drinking regrets, explain how drinking to cope with regret makes things worse, and show you how passive time spent drinking can be turned into active time spent healing and learning to forgive yourself. 

My hope for you is that you will reframe those "time wasted" feelings into motivation and optimism to move forward alcohol-free. 

Keep your eyes on the road ahead and practice gratitude for yourself in getting you here. 

Sending you a big virtual hug!

I really am a big Counting Crows fan - here is the song I was talking about.  It's called Murder Of One - you know when things are right on the tip of your tongue? 🙂
