How I Ditched Wine Culture

Get my newest freebie all about how I ditched wine culture, including how to find joy in sobriety and my favorite mocktail recipes.

Hi friends! I hope that you’re having a wonderful long weekend and enjoying the day. For today’s post, I wanted to share a freebie I created for you about reducing my wine intake over time.

Back in the day, it wasn’t unusual for me to have 2-3 glasses of wine each night. I also couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t sleeping well and woke up exhausted all the time.

In today’s society, wine culture has become deeply ingrained in our social lives. From casual gatherings to celebratory occasions, it seems like there’s always an excuse to uncork a bottle of wine. There’s also a huge “mommy wine culture.” I’d so often hear moms in real life and on social media talk about how they use alcohol to cope with parenthood… and that was a red flag for me. Sure, I loved the warm and fuzzy feeling that a glass (or two) of wine gave me. But, I didn’t need it to enjoy life, connect with others at parties, or enjoy my children, and I decided I wanted to cut way back.

I was once deeply entrenched in this culture, but I found myself questioning its impact on my health and happiness. This is the story of how I broke free, and now, I enjoy wine SO much more. It’s a rare treat, instead of a habit.
