LETTING GO OF THE RELATIONSHIP WITH ALCOHOL

It’s time to move on. Time to let go of those people, those infatuations, those beliefs, grudges and misguided causes that you’ve prioritized for so long. Sometimes we are misguided as to where we should apply our efforts. Be it someone we love who doesn’t deserve it or return the same or even political affiliations that we really believed aligned with our principals at one time and now we see they no longer do.In sobriety we change!

Its a well known observation that to a certain degree, from the time we pick up the bottle on a regular basis, our mental development stops due to the constant interruption of intoxication. Thus it can be pretty amazing to observe our personal change when we start to allow our brains to heal from our traumas and we grow mentally once again.

Combine this newfound life with the ability to truly be introspective and there are bound to be some infatuations that come to light which you realize are a blatant waste of time to continue obsessing on. Sensitive ones may be the root of your youthful traumas that were a large part of your trigger responses in substance abuse. Others quite likely were influenced also by lack of judgement and growth during a weaker time, on the sauce. It’s time to flourish, spread your wings, feel confidence in making decisions and truly grow.

It’s time to move on, not burying your memories or feelings, but placing them in a spot of nominal importance, recognizing them as an important stepping stone to where you are now, without judgement.With our new capacities and freedom, we have room to support new people, causes, societal issues, environmental issues and family as we define it that align with our authenticity for who we are today.Live strong, live sober, live free!
