R'oujie Ruminations & Revelations

In this episode, I'll shares my personal journey with Sober October and the transformative impact it had on my life. I discuss my reasons for abstaining from alcohol, including confronting emotional attachments, improving mental well-being, and adopting habit-changing strategies. I spend a bit of time exploring the different types of reasons people might give and the underlying motivations for alcohol consumption. I'll share with you, the specific prompts and activities I created and used throughout the month, such as self-care Sundays, "happy hour of clarity" journaling, and affirmations to refuse alcohol. I emphasize the importance of staying present with uncomfortable emotions, rather than using alcohol as an escape.
