From a fellow Aussie, well done Megan! I loved the "You drink because you're lonely, but because of drinking, you're drinking makes yourself lonely." The opposite of addiction is not what you think it is, it's connection. Thank you for sharing your story. Tx
Thank you very much Megan for sharing your story. A similar thing regarding shaking happened to me. I had loved acting and public speaking as a teenager, then all of a sudden one time I stood up to recite a poem at about age 14, I started shaking really badly. I was mortified. I stopped public speaking and missed out on many activities because I was scared I would shake. I tried about 16 years later and shook again in front of a room of people and I was so embarrassed. I finally decided I wanted to public speak again after another 14 years. I saw a great hypnotist who didn’t wave a magic wand as I hoped but just got me to look at things in a different way; and I have been able to public speak and have officiated a wedding in front of over 600 people. I have not drunk alcohol for over 25 years.
