Amber's story
"Are you truly living your best life? This question echoed in my mind more times than I can count. I took my first drink at 13, not because of peer pressure or rebellion, but because it gave me a feeling I didn't know I was searching for-escape, ease, and a temporary sense of control. Over time, alcohol became my go-to coping tool through stress, change, and overwhelm.
For years, I believed I was managing just fine. I had a career, A family, and a life that looked good from the outside. but inside, I was stuck in a cycle of shame, anxiety, broken promises to myself, and the exhausting effort of trying to "do it all" while hiding how I was really feeling.
After having my child, the anxiety I long pushed down surfaced with force. Postpartum anxiety hit me hard-racing thoughts, insomnia, and constant fear that I wasn't doing enough. I leaned on alcohol yet again, hoping it would calm me down or take the edge off. But it only added fuel to the fire. I woke up feeling worse-physically, mentally, and emotionally.
One day, I had to get honest with myself. "Are you tired of being sick and tired?" That question changed everything.
My healing didn't happen overnight, but with small steps, deep reflections, new tools, my faith, I started breaking free from the cycle. I learned to navigate my anxiety in healthier ways, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with who I truly am-beyond the labels, expectations, and habits i once hid.
A new beginning is possible.
I started my New Beginning and so can you!
