What my alcohol journey taught me

Does alcohol or other addictive behaviors take up too much of
your time in life?


I know it did me, as I shared yesterday in my other episode


We are surrounded by dopamine hits In fact, it wasn't until
Facebook came into my life, that I got addicted, without knowing
it, to dopamine in a different way then exercise.


Dopamine is healthy and good.....until it isn't


Until it's too much and spikes your cortisol, which creates too
much stress hormone and can trigger trauma responses such as
fight, flight, freeze or fawn.


Then add in life stressors and getting out of balance/alignment
with my mind/body/spirit, and then it was easy to get sucked into
many different dopamine hit, people pleasing behaviors that cause
me to get "lost" in the game of life I had ZERO boundaries before
I knew it - working 7 days a week or being "ON" and available.


Not being conscious of who I was or what I wanted out of life


Which then led me to set goals that weren't really mine


All started with dopamine hits that were starting to overwhelm
and numb my mind and create shiny object syndrome


Can you relate?


Today I will tell you how my binge drinking habit, while very
painful and cost me a lot of time (and money), was a GIFT And
instead of staying in shame/guilt/blame mode, I got REAL with
myself and went inward on a journey to find some deeply amazing
answers
