Why You Need to Explore Your Relationship With Alcohol with Krysty Krywko
Show Notes

When you’ve had a long, hard day juggling all the demands and responsibilities of your life, what do you do to relax?

Do you collapse onto the sofa, breathe a huge sigh of relief and pour yourself a ‘well-deserved’ glass of wine? Or perhaps one glass turns into several and before you know it, you’ve drained the bottle completely. 

Maybe you’re just the type of person who loves to enjoy a drink or two with friends or family. But soon find that you’ve had too much and struggle with a hangover or brain fog for days afterwards. 

If so, this week’s episode of the podcast with sobriety coach, advocate, and a mixed media artist, Krysty Krywko is exactly for you. 

Even if you’re not out drinking binge drinking in the clubs or don’t consider yourself an alcoholic, you may have fallen prey to our ‘wine o’clock’ culture and find yourself relying on alcohol far more than you should. 

You might drink to unwind, cope with difficult emotions, help you deal with stress or overwhelm or simply feel lonely or bored. I know I certainly did after my mum passed away. 

But if we continue along this slippery slope, we could find ourselves in trouble. 

Besides the fact that it makes us look older and more tired, our immune systems struggle, our energy levels and motivation decline, our risk of serious health conditions and even premature death increase and, of course, our bank balances also suffer. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. If we give ourselves permission to break free of societal pressures, prioritise our wellness and acknowledge, accept and work through our difficult emotions, we can break free. 

Listen to this episode to discover: 

  • Why we carry so much emotional baggage when it comes to our relationship with alcohol
  • How to recognise the warning signs when it comes to your drinking habits (and what to do!)
  • Our shifting identities as women and how we often use alcohol to ‘fill the void’
  • How to use Krysty’s unique creative process of sketchbooking to process your emotions and replace your ‘essential’ daily glass of wine
  • How peer pressure, society and culture influence our drinking habits and often lead us to neglect our health and wellbeing
