Welcome to the Catholic Sobriety podcast , the go-to resource for women seeking to have a deeper understanding of the role alcohol plays in their lives , women who are looking to drink less or not at all for any reason . I am your host , christy Walker .
I'm a wife , mom and a joy-filled Catholic , and I am the Catholic Sobriety coach , and I am so glad you're here . Hello everyone , thank you so much for being here . I'm really excited to do this episode . It's one that I've been planning for quite a while , and I just kind of got it all put together last night and I am ready to roll with it .
So today's episode is self-care without booze . So , contrary to popular marketing and beliefs and what people say on Instagram and everywhere else , drinking alcohol is not self-care . Let me say that again Drinking alcohol is not self-care . It's not a way to cope with your motherhood .
It's actually something that I've talked about a ton on my show , and so you can go back and listen to episodes , but it actually doesn't help with all the things that a lot of times , women consume alcohol to try to alleviate . So it actually increases your anxiety and depression . It leaves you feeling kind of grumpy , not feeling well the next day .
Sleep is disrupted , which accounts for the not feeling well and being grumpy , and , yeah , it's just no good . And I want to help you by providing some tips on how you can do self-care without the booze . Okay , so I've been doing this for a long time .
I am a woman in recovery and I have had to figure out ways to self-care , which I mean sometimes as moms , as women , as Catholic women the word self-care can feel a little selfish , but I think that the options that I'm going to be providing for you today I have five are going to be very doable and they are going to just fill your cup so that you can be
the wife , the mom , the daughter of God that you want to be . So I have five of those for you and I would love to dive in . So let's get started . So the first self-care tip that I have for you that does not involve booze is to schedule in real rest . This is conscious rest . It's about making deliberate choices to prioritize your well-being .
So you may be saying look , christy , I am a busy mom . I have , like , so many things going on . There is no way that I am going to have time to take a moment in my daily routine to have any kind of real rest .
But this is what I would offer you Think about the times , or take note of the times , when maybe you're doing things like scrolling or wasting time doing things that aren't really serving you , or when you're drinking alcohol . Then fill that time with rest .
