Have you ever wished you could drink like other people?

I did.

For years, I wanted so badly to be able to moderate.

To drink only on special occasions. To pour a glass only to elevate a good time, not to solve a bad mood or remedy a crappy day.

But over and over, I failed.

I'd try to moderate, but I'd overdo it. I'd want to take a break from drinking, but after a few days, I'd slide back into my familiar Yeti full of ice, LaCroix and Tito's at the end of a long day.

And then, repeat that until I slipped into a deep sleep.

Only to wake up at 2am with dry mouth, a racing heartbeat and feeling lower than I had that afternoon before.

Finally, it happened.

In 2021, I took a break from drinking.

I started life coaching. I rediscovered my life. I finally felt like I was thriving again.

I loved not drinking, but after a while, I got tired of saying 'no.'

And so after nearly 2.5 years of not drinking, this past summer, I dabbled.

I started drinking on vacation.

In this episode of She Just Glows: The Podcast, I'm keeping things real and sharing why I decided to drink again, and how that choice only underscores why I don't drink in the first place.
