What is the Best Way to Quit Drinking?
Read more: What is the Best Way to Quit Drinking?I was terrified to give up alcohol. I could feel myself on the precipice of something so bad that I might not be able to come back from it.

Read more: You are Allowed to ChangeWe are all butterflies. Earth is our chrysalis. —LeeAnn Taylor One of my wise yoga teachers said that anything can be healed from the inside out. She’s on the money with that one, because “from the inside out” is the way all transformation occurs. The caterpillar doesn’t start sprouting wing buds on its back that…

Find Your Way Out – Let’s Get Real About Dangerous Drinking
Read more: Find Your Way Out – Let’s Get Real About Dangerous DrinkingDrinking alcohol is something that is so ingrained in our expectations of a normal way to live, that it takes some pretty dramatic shake-ups for us to rethink how dangerously we drink.

Read more: 30 posts for 30 days To Help You Quit DrinkingA big fear of mine when things shut down in Spring 2020 was being without booze.

I am NOT the Lie Alcohol Had Me Believing I Was
Read more: I am NOT the Lie Alcohol Had Me Believing I WasWhen I was drinking I was in a very dark place. At first, the darkness was a quiet place that I craved. I allowed the darkness to consume me, even welcomed it at times, because I thought I had control of it. But before long I lost control and was completely buried by alcohol’s hold…

Too Much Vodka Under the Bridge
Read more: Too Much Vodka Under the BridgeSometimes I think back to what it was like. The phone calls, the screams, the fear in my throat wondering what the person ringing me was talking about. The fear of betraying someone and doing it anyway. The Dr. visits with hands gripping each other tightly. Being slumped zombie-like over the couch. The sad goodbye…

“It was a random day of internet searching that brought me to Boozemusings Blog and to Boom Community, and my life has been changed by it. I needed some kind of “epiphany” for a mind change, and I have learned things about alcohol and its physical effects that have given me that kind of enlightenment. I check in several times a day and it is like meeting with my family. The resources here are incredible, and inexhaustible. I have quit lit books, etc. Will check out some of the other resources in others’ responses, but for me, Boom has been the answer. I feel it has to do with the tireless work of Boom’s creators. Thank you, Boom!!!!!!!”
