When I first considered this question I met it with a lot of resistance. I had been taught that because I drank 30 beers a day, I had a disease that would follow me for the rest of my life. Alcohol had devoured 15 years of my existence and killed my husband. The disease theory made perfect sense and I blamed alcohol for my broken reality. I spent a few years believing that I was powerless over alcohol and that a phenomenon of craving could strike at any moment without warning. Then my sister introduced me to Brooke Castillo and thought work. Learning key things about how my brain works has changed everything. Now I understand that alcohol was never really my problem. The inability to handle my emotions was the real issue. Alcohol doesn’t have the power to make me drink it. And the phenomenon of craving is nothing more than thoughts created by a brain built to avoid pain, seek pleasure and be efficient. Now I am beyond blessed to be able to teach others what I have learned and show them how to process and handle their emotions.
