She Stopped Beating Herself Up
Shownotes
LaCinda joined The Path hopeful, but scared it would be one more thing that didn't stick. Hear how learning self-compassion helped alcohol become small and irrelevant in her life, and what freedom means to her now.
How do you stop beating yourself up about drinking? LaCinda was hard on herself for years before she learned how. She grew up in a strict, religious home, found what felt like freedom drinking in college, and later drank every night in a marriage that had lost its connection. After her divorce, she came across Annie Grace and joined The Path. In this conversation with Coach Cole, she talks about learning self-compassion, her last drink, and the connection she feels now with the people in her life.
