She didn’t lose weight
Slept badly
Felt more anxious and angry
That was week 1-2
Boredom & feeling flat came next.
By week 3 things began to settle
Lisa stopped fighting herself
Instead she put her energy into the strategies she was learning.
By week 5 she said:
“ I didn’t realise I could feel so much better than I did. I woke up the other day and felt happy, that was the first time in ages!”
By the end of our time together
She had a firm understanding of why she was using alcohol and how to deal with her feelings in a way that supported her not harmed her.
That bitch that lived in her head.
Became her biggest cheerleader.
Sure there are no guarantees that life will be kind to her.
But this is the truth.
She can now handle any tsunami of s**t that life may throw her way without running back to drinking.
She went from hating herself and feeling ashamed to trusting that she can make choices that support the woman she wants to be.
This is the work ladies.
I hope you realise this while you still have time to change things around for yourself.
