Hey shame and regret, who dis?

Hey everyone! Thanks for subscribing to this email!

Be on the lookout for another one in the next few weeks asking for your opinions! I am making some adjustments to how I run the newsletter, and I need your input before anyone else. You are my people! 🥰

Thanks!

This is a hard one for so many people.

When we quit drinking, we can get stuck in the past. We think about how much time we wasted, how much we missed, and who we could have been if we hadn’t focused so much on alcohol.

But answer this question: Where does that thinking get you?

I think you know the answer…it doesn’t get you anywhere good.

Don’t let shame and regret get you down. If that thought comes into your head - let it. And then let it go. If it helps, set a time limit on thinking about it. Once the time is up, move on. Distract yourself. Do something different.

Another way to help these thoughts is to reframe them. You can say to yourself, “a lot of time was wasted, but now I have so much time to live an AF life.”

JK…I wasn’t OK - but I am somewhat OK now. Change is good; that’s what they say, right? I’ll keep telling myself that…

Have a great week! 😊
