Why are we still asking "why" when someone says they aren't drinking?

..into selflothing and apathy. The only way to truly heal the depression you feel from abandoning yourself over a long period of time is to make bold and brave choices in the direction of your truth. Expressing yourself freely where you used to silence yourself for their benefit.

until one day there is barely any “real you” left. Then we call it depression. Depression is actually the opposite of EXPRESSION. When we have abandoned our true self expression and voice for long enough eventually that rage we feel from this self abandonment turns inwards

It’s inconvenient for the people who have benefited off of your supressed voice for you to speak your truth, which is why they’ll try to squash you with shame when you do. But the more you abandon your voice to keep the peace, the more you will lose yourself…

Reminder: the limit doesn’t exist !!!

Choose your words wisely. You’re creating your future with every word you speak out into existence.

Follow your heart’s desires and you will never be lost

The more you give to yourself, the more you are able to give to the world

The belief that you’re not acceptable just the way you are is exactly what draws people into your life who believe you’re not acceptable just as you are. Life is a mirror of your inner world. Where do you need to unshackle yourself?

If you don’t like yourself, it doesn’t matter where you go, you are right there. To avoid being with yourself you need to take something to numb you so, you’ll use alcohol, drugs, food, shopping, sex, etc in order to take your mind away from yourself. The solution is self love

I’ll be talking in depth about this on the first episode of my podcast (coming soon!!) 🙌🏼✨

Tbh for years I relied on alcohol to help me feel confident and “have more fun” socially, it lead me to some dark places. So, when I tweet about this topic it’s not coming from a place of pride, but from a place of understanding, reflection and compassion 🙏🏼

Drinking to “take the edge off” is actually an indication that you’re living your life out of alignment internally, which is reflecting itself externally in your job, etc that is causing you to look to something to make you feel better Use it as an invitation to inquire within!
