Taking healthy risks, and spiritual growth… Authentic confidence, and being open and present for new opportunities…
Oh, how I pined for all of these while I was still drinking. And yet, it was so hard to let go of my drinking identity. I was terrified.
What if I took away the drink and there was nothing left? Just a grey personality and a grey existence stretching out in front of me until the end of eternity…?
I can’t even begin to tell you how relieved I was to discover that was all just a big, old crock.
Michelle Mahlman has been on an incredible journey in her relationship with alcohol. Like me, she found it difficult to let go of her party girl identity. But despite the fear, she began the process of healing herself. Now glowing and happy, she lives the deliciously deep life she always dreamed of. And better yet, she’s helping to empower other women to do the same…
“I feel like I’ve really gotten in touch with the truth of who I am. And for whatever reason…, drinking alcohol doesn’t serve my highest and best. And that’s kinda’ what I live on today: that I have a choice, and I’m not powerless over alcohol. I am powerful over making the best decision for myself, and that is to stay sober…
And so many beautiful things have come into fruition for me in the past two years because of having that acceptance, and honouring it. You know, like really owning it this time. I’m proud to announce to people that I’m sober; that I don’t drink. That I have a life that’s very rich in meaningful relationships, and physical movement, and yoga, and spiritual practice, and connecting with the world in a way that I never have before. And I think that’s really just from having this openness and allowing this path to unfold for me.”
