I started drinking in high school to fit in and feel accepted. Little did I know this seemingly innocent desire for acceptance would silently shape the next four decades of my life.
Throughout college and my career as a pharmaceutical sales representative, "Work hard, play hard," became my motto. I sold antidepressants while battling my own hidden struggle with depression.
My Story...
Even as I was pursuing my passion for helping others through personal training & Pilates, I was seeking relief wherever I could find it from the challenges I faced, including the heartbreak of infertility, miscarriage, and a devastating failed adoption.
Alcohol became a deceptive escape. It numbed me and for a while, it felt like it was really helping me. To the outside world, I projected the image of a carefree party girl, determined to show that everything was fine. But beneath that facade, I battled depression and endured immense emotional turmoil.
During that journey, I delved into figure competitions as a means to motivate myself to quit drinking. It worked but only until the night of the contest when I would inevitably celebrate with too much alcohol and soon find myself back in my destructive patterns. I learned motivation & willpower could only take me so far.
Through extensive research and personal experience, I gained a deep understanding of the detrimental impact of alcohol on mental health, particularly its amplification of depression and anxiety. Armed with this newfound knowledge, I made the courageous decision to remove alcohol from my life—a decision that would change everything.
One of the remarkable benefits since removing alcohol was that I no longer needed to take antidepressants to navigate each day. (It's important to note that this is my personal experience, not a medical claim, but it underscores the transformative power of breaking free from alcohol's grip for me.)
