Day 40 - YOU ARE RESILIENT

Choosing to reduce or eliminate alcohol from your life can be considered an act of resilience. You have acknowledged the difficulties it’s creating and are choosing to do something about it.

Resilience describes psychological toughness, or the ability to successfully cope with misfortune and change. Resilient people have found ways to face stress and regulate emotions.

You’ve sought to identify triggers, make sense of their origins, learn how to exercise self-compassion, and make increasingly wise choices.

You can simultaneously mourn the loss of alcohol from your life, confront your problems, and face your fears – taking time to pause and rest when needed. You’re learning how to express your feelings and go after your dreams, despite your doubt!
