Do You Have a Love-Hate Relationship with Alcohol? You’re Not Alone.

For years, I had a relationship with alcohol. Not a habit. Not a phase. A relationship.

It comforted me, celebrated with me, numbed me when I needed a break. But over time, that “relationship” became one-sided. Alcohol promised me peace… but it often left me with regret.

If you’ve ever felt that internal tension — I want to drink… and I don’t — this post is for you.

The Truth About Our Relationship with Alcohol

We’ve been sold a cultural script: wine is how women unwind. It’s self-care. It’s bonding. It’s freedom.

But what if those promises are false?

What if the real freedom comes when you put the drink down and reclaim your clarity, your energy, your full presence?

From Willpower to Willingness

I tried to quit. I made rules. I broke them.

I thought I just needed more willpower.

But what I really needed was willingness — to be uncomfortable, to grow, to shift my identity.

That’s when things changed.

Your Relationship Can Change — Without Labels or Shame

You don’t need to hit rock bottom. You don’t need a label.

If you’re questioning your drinking, that’s enough. That’s brave.

And you don’t have to do it alone.
