If you\u2019re a midlife woman working on living an alcohol-free lifestyle - I\u2019m so proud of you! Even when you dedicate yourself to sobriety, you may find yourself questioning whether or not, it\u2019s worth it to keep going. I questioned my sobriety and tried to talk myself out of it multiple times during my first year, but my \u201cwhy\u201d (aka why-power) kept me going. During this episode, I share with you a  journal reflection that I wrote on 6\/30\/14 at 11 months sober where I was questioning my choice. I talk about where I was the night I quit drinking, 8\/11\/13, and how I believed that I didn\u2019t have the willpower or discipline actually to stay alcohol-free. I also discuss how to remind yourself why you don\u2019t want to drink more than why you do throughout the day. This episode serves as a reminder that your &quot;why-power&quot; - your deep, personal reasons for choosing sobriety - will always be more meaningful than the temporary escape alcohol provides. Keep moving forward on your alcohol-free journey because the life you're creating is waiting for you. I\u2019m with you.
