The in between of not being an alcoholic, but knowing I needed to change my relationship with alcohol was a special kind of misery..

 

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN ALCOHOLIC TO CHANGE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ALCOHOL

Over five years ago, I began to take my relationship with Christ seriously and decided it was time to ditch the booze. As a Faith & Wellness Coach already in the coaching industry, I KNEW God was calling me higher, calling me to step into the next level of my God-given potential. The only thing holding me back was alcohol.

I wasn’t an everyday drinker, but I found myself using alcohol to cope with the unhealthy relationship I had been in for years. I always describe it as a special kind of misery—being in the in-between of not being an alcoholic but knowing I needed to change my relationship with alcohol. I tried moderating and taking breaks, but nothing ever stuck. I always ended up in the same binge drinking cycle, weighed down by guilt and shame.

As I grew closer to the Lord, His convictions about alcohol and my relationship became impossible to ignore. I knew I needed to make a change.

I left the relationship, and the next step was fully letting go of alcohol. However, this decision led me to my rock-bottom moment. After leaving the relationship, I started drinking even more. The days I was alcohol-free became fewer and fewer until one night after drinking, I woke up with overwhelming anxiety, guilt, and shame. It was in that moment I knew something had to change. For the first time in my life, I felt like I was losing control.

I felt the Holy Spirit whisper, "If you don't stop drinking now, you won't fulfill the purpose I have for you." I knew if I continued this cycle with alcohol, I would become an alcoholic and end up in an even darker place.

Navigating heartbreak and this new journey with Christ, I FINALLY decided to let go of alcohol. I wasn’t an alcoholic and didn’t want a recovery program or AA, as I didn’t align with these approaches. Instead, I called my pastors, hired a sober coach and a Christian therapist, and started to REALLY do the work.

Since 2018, I’ve been alcohol-free, and life is good. Today, I teach Christian women like you to embrace an alcohol-free life and unlock your true purpose. We approach this through a biblical and practical lens so you can break free for good!

It’s such an honor to support Christian leaders, aspiring leaders, and highly driven women who want to change their relationship with alcohol.
