There’s a problematic message in our society that tells us that we only need to quit drinking if our drinking looks ‘that bad’. You know the kind - Meg Ryan in When A Man Loves a Woman or Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas.
This message can cause so many challenges for women on their sobriety journeys. It can make them second guess themselves about whether or not they need to quit drinking, even as their personal relationship with alcohol becomes more and more negative.
But what if you reframed this message? What if you stopped asking if you were ‘that bad’, and started asking if alcohol was that bad? How would this change your perspective?
