It’s easy to feel like you’ve tried everything to make life better, but what if there’s one thing holding you back from your “happily ever after”? For many of us, alcohol is that thing—keeping us stuck, tired, and out of sync with the life we truly desire.

Here’s the plot twist: that happily ever after, the life you really want, is already happening. The only thing creating dissatisfaction is the constant struggle with reality, trying to make it fit what’s going on inside you. Add a drink, and alcohol reinforces the belief that everything is wrong.

Instead, turn your gaze inward with curiosity. Simply notice how it feels in your body. When you meet resistance, rather than demanding that life change or raging at the people you love, soften from within. Let that energy move, making space for the miracle of this moment—a moment that took 13 billion years to arrive.

No one said it’s easy, but it is simple. Your thoughts are things, and they’re running your life. Watch them, observe them. Know that they are not the essence of who you are. They never were, and they never will be.

When you embrace this, alcohol is no longer necessary. You’re no longer trying to escape your own mind. Instead, you learn to work with it.

Imagine a life where you’re present, fully engaged, and feeling in control. That’s what sobriety has given so many women I work with. It’s about reclaiming your power, reconnecting with your partner, and rediscovering what it feels like to truly live your life.
