Change Begins with Curiosity/Awareness

---

I always thought I was a "normal" drinker.   Until I wasn't.   

I am a former binge drinker.  

What is binge drinking?

Thousands of people die each year due to this stye of drinking which is defined as 4 or more drinks for a female/5 or more drinks for a male.  

It isn't drinking every day. 

It isn't necessarily alcoholism.  

It's drinking too much, one time and then having your life upset forever.   

I am a commercial fisherwoman, health coach and mental health advocate.  Through my writing, coaching, and speaking opportunities, I explore the intersection of grief, binge drinking, suicide, resilience, shame and the stories we tell ourselves and the hidden patterns we use to survive. The underlying question are, “how is it working for you?

It wasn't until after my  late husband’s death by alcohol-related suicide and my last dangerous drinking episode; that I vowed to change. Through podcast interviews, my book, Life Beyond the Binge, A Commercial Fisherwoman’s Journey Home and speaking engagements, I offer hope to others and empowering moves on how to chart their course for change.
