Latonya Williams Instagram – I BET I can guess what you’re thinking 💭⬇️ I need drugs and alcohol to have fun I’m no fun without drugs and alcohol What am I going to do with my friends if we don’t drink? Not drinking is boring I need a drink to loosen up I need a drink to wind down I NEED a drink Any of this sound familiar? 🙋🏾‍♀️ I never really thought I had a problem with alcohol. I could always take a break when I was focusing on my health or preparing for a shoot or production. And I only drank socially, never by myself – so I was ok right? Wrong. I decided to quit all together in the fall of 2022 for several reasons. One being that It’s one of the leading causes of preventable death (yet it was considered essential during a health crisis?🧐) And then I started noticing how often people had a drink in their hands on TV, how often it’s advertised… let’s just say I’ve been down a rabbit hole. Aside from that all, I wanted to see what I was really capable of, and that meant I needed to stop blowing all my progress for a night out on the weekend – followed by a bout of depression that only slowly wore off through-out the week with the added “benefit” of raising my cortisol levels 😓 When I started writing and really opening up my thoughts around drugs and alcohol, I realized just how deep that programming ran. How instantaneous the desire popped up when I would so much as look at a patio in the summertime. How boring and bleak I thought my future looked without it🥱 I was wrong again🥹 I feel like for the first time in my adult life, I’m really living. I had to re-learn how to do some things, and address some of the pain and anxiety that I didn’t even realize was hiding behind my lack of sobriety. But once I did, the clarity I’ve been able to accumulate has been astonishing 🤯 🔮Now I can see my future crystal clear, and it’s looking brighter than ever **If you want to know the process my husband and I used to reprogram our thinking around drinking AND join a supportive group of people doing all that and more – DM or comment the word REPROGRAM #soberlife #reallife #soberliving #sobercurious #alcoholfree #alcoholfreelife #reprogramyourmind #sober #soberlife
