Alcohol-Free Lifestyle
After the Silence: What I Heard When I Finally Stopped Escaping - Victoria English
09 Jun 2025
Do you ever wish you could handle tough feelings without needing to escape them? Coach Victoria shares her own story of facing emotional pain after using alcohol as an "emotional anesthetic". Many of us try to numb feelings from stress, grief, or old hurts with drinks. Victoria talks openly about why it's so scary to meet these feelings when we choose to live alcohol-free, and the "emotional weight" many people carry. But there's amazing hope for change. Victoria explains how alcohol affects our brains and the exciting science of "neuroplasticity". How our brains can heal and build new paths. Learn how to not just get through discomfort, but to truly hold your feelings and find your strength. She reminds us we're not broken or weak. Our brains are learning to feel again, opening us up to real joy and peace. Find out why support from others is so important on this path to rediscovering yourself.
