Leaving behind

Alcohol

The drink you're leaving behind so your real life can come forward.

Reach for this instead

Reach for a ritual, not a drink

Pour sparkling water over ice with lemon or bitters in a real glass. Sit down, breathe, and drink it slowly. The craving is often for the ritual and the exhale — give your body both without the alcohol.

Scripture

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

Ephesians 5:18
