So much of going alcohol free has to do with confidence. It’s all about being comfortable with yourself without a drink in hand. It’s about creating a solid internal sense of self, that doesn’t need alcohol anymore.
One thing that helped me with pulling out of the spirals of depression and anxiety that alcohol would put me through was self hypnosis videos. Having a regular practice listening to these videos ultimately built my confidence and trust in myself, which helps me stay sober.
Here is one video that has always helped me through it. The great thing about self hypnosis videos is all you have to do is lay there and listen. Perfect for when you are in that dark hole of “day after alcohol depression” and have no motivation to do anything.
Great idea. I always wondered about hypnosis and am tinkering with giving it a go. I guess I fear someone else doing it though and what else it will bring to the surface. I like the idea of of self hypnosis though… feels safer.
I said I was going to quit so many mornings but never did anything different. Drinking was going to kill me but I couldn’t stop. I needed to change my brain. I decided I would change the way I thought about drinking by reading sober and alcohol free writings and blogs every morning. By surrounding myself with different information, I completely changed the way I thought about and dealt with alcohol addiction. I learned how to change my habits, I learned how to think differently about self-care, and I took a real look at how I treated myself. I started to see alcohol for the poison that it is. My personal reality changed by reading the stories of others. Now I share my own stories here to help others and to continue the healing.
