Hola Sober Dec-Jan 2024

Pain Hola Sober Inbox

Dear Susan, I have realised I was wrapped up tightly and stuck in my pain for a long time. I never spoke about things that happened to me as a child and once I discovered alcohol, all new pain was dumped on top of the old pain and drowned in wine. I never acknowledged, talked about, or tried to understand any of it. I just put up my walls and kept going. I have learned a lot and changed a lot of things over the last few years and now, the Pledge Program has helped me see things more clearly and helped me build on what I started for myself but in a more solid way. These changes have allowed me to begin the process of forgiving myself. I can show myself compassion and understanding. My mind is open to possibilities. I'm more confident in myself. My relationship with my partner is more authentic, I've nothing to hide anymore. In general, I'm more present and listening and communicating better. My mood is more stable . I can sit and feel and not want to run like Forest Gump to the wine shop to shut everything down. Every single aspect of my life is slowly improving, and my strengths are revealing themselves to me like never before. I have a sense of belonging in this community of women which is so life-affirming and rewarding. Love, Sandra H. (Ireland)
