“This is your gentle reminder to think before you drink

“Fridays are for enjoying the weekend, yes. But please make sure that you are in a good state before pouring yourself a glass of wine or taking that shot of tequila.

“Please don’t unconsciously drown yourself in alcohol because you are trying to numb some kind of pain or discomfort. Do yourself a favor and make sure to feel your feelings and not just drink them away. Cry it out if you need to. Scream into a pillow. Feel and release negative energy instead of running away and distracting yourself with pleasure. I know this because I’ve been there and believe me—it’s a waste of time and energy

“I used to drink to get wasted so that I wouldn’t have to feel my pain which was why my alcohol intake was limitless. Now that I have been doing the inner work to heal, I can consciously drink to celebrate life because I know that I deserve a few glasses of wine every once in a while
