Do you ever wake up and wonder how many you had last night? What you said? Why you did it again when you swore you wouldn't? You're not at rock bottom. But you're not okay either.
I'm 20 years sober and I've been coaching since 2013, and today I'm talking about gray-area drinking, that big middle nobody talks about. I share my own story (including the wine glass that holds an entire bottle, wink wink) and five signs it might be time to take a look:
1. You have rules about your drinking
2. You drink to take the edge off
3. You think about it more than you want to
4. You dread going somewhere without alcohol
5. You've Googled "am I an alcoholic?"
Then I invite you to join me for a 30-day experiment: no drinking from October 1 to October 30. Journal every night, notice how you feel, bring your own drink of choice to parties, and tell one person. You can tell me! Email elizabeth@elizabethchance.com. I'll write you right back.
You're not crazy. You're just ready.

Sometimes life gets lifey. Sometimes all we can do is take it one moment at a time, let go of what we cannot control, and trust that God has us.
