This card is prompting you to seek out a community that has already embraced the changes you are looking for. By immersing yourself in a community that has successfully adapted to changing times, you can learn from their experiences and be inspired to bring about similar changes in your own neighbourhood.

Remember, change starts with individuals who are willing to take action and create a ripple effect in their communities.

The people we surround ourselves with can have a significant impact on our habits with alcohol. Our friends can influence the choices we make, the activities we engage in, and the values we hold. If we surround ourselves with friends who have healthy habits, such as limited or no alcohol, we are more likely to adopt those habits ourselves. On the other hand, if our friends have unhealthy habits, we may find ourselves picking up those habits as well. It's important to be mindful of the company we keep and to surround ourselves with positive influences that support our goals and values. By cultivating relationships with friends who share our interests and values, we can create a supportive community that helps us grow and thrive.

This is a reminder to pay attention to “red flags” that indicate our habits around alcohol may be leading us down a negative path. When we start to notice patterns of behaviour that are harmful or detrimental to our well-being, it's important to take action before those habits have the chance to take control of our lives. By recognizing and addressing these warning signs early on, we can prevent our habits from causing further harm and potentially derailing our goals and aspirations. This may involve seeking help, making changes to our routines, or developing healthier habits to replace the harmful ones.

This card highlights the importance of surrounding ourselves with supportive and encouraging individuals as we strive to make positive changes in our lives.

Our minds play a crucial role in breaking habits as it is through mental strength, determination, and self-awareness that we can identify and change our relationship with alcohol. Our bodies serve as a tool for implementing these changes and experiencing the rewards of breaking free from negative patterns. However, it's important to be mindful of our egos, as allowing our ego to control our actions can lead to arrogance, and fear of self improvement. By keeping our ego in check and focusing on self-awareness, we can prevent it from becoming a hindrance to our personal growth and development.

When alcohol has been used as a source of entertainment for many generations, it can be difficult to break this habit, as it is deeply ingrained in our family history and culture. However, it is important to recognize that just because the habit of alcohol has been passed down through generations does not mean it is healthy or beneficial.

There are countless strategies and tips for breaking a habit, but each of us who has successfully moved away from alcohol has done it in our own way. While it is beneficial to gather ideas and connect with supportive groups, ultimately, you will be the one facing the challenges alone. You are the one that establishes the boundaries of what is acceptable to you. You are the one who confronts the cravings and setbacks. Therefore, it is you who determines the rules and guidelines for your journey.

As humans we are interconnected by the energy that flows through us, linking us to activities and individuals who resonate with our energy. Just as giving attention to a toxic person can encourage them to advance alongside you in the hope of gaining more on your attention, the same principle applies to alcohol.

Maybe wine o’clock started out to be a couple of drinks while making dinner, it may have progressed, and like many of us becomes a crutch that we cannot get rid of. The initial sense of euphoria and relaxation may fade, often revealing the real reasons for the need to unwind, which may manifest as blame and anger.

Trust me when I tell you, when embarking on a journey to change your relationship with alcohol, it can feel like starting a new school as a child - uncomfortable and unfamiliar. The level of discomfort you experience often correlates with how long you have relied on alcohol in your life. Feeling like a stranger to yourself signifies that you are in the midst of transformation. Some social situations may become boring without alcohol, indicating you have outgrown what you once relied on. Stepping out of our comfort zones helps us discover our authentic selves.

As we detach from comforts of the past, we go from merely existing to truly living life to the fullest.

Embarking on a journey to change your relationship with alcohol may initially appear straightforward, but as you move closer to the life you envision, you realise the challenges and obstacles in the way of this alcohol free existence are far from simple. Friends and circumstances encountered along the way may pose as much of a barrier as the habit itself. This message validates the emotions you are experiencing.

Children are either the product of our habits or the desire to change. They are our biggest teachers.

To be present for a younger person is to be wise and experienced. It’s those times where a solid foundation can be cultivated and our homes and neighborhoods in time reflect our initial presence.

When alcohol is part of our life whether daily or otherwise, it has the ability to muffle our needs. It does not allow clarity, rather a false sense of us. When we allow ourselves the space to dream without alcohol present, we are gifted options within our own realities, we start to see ourselves without restriction, and realizing alcohol has had a part to play in shelving our goals. When we first change our relationship with alcohol, the mental struggle may overtake the ability to dream, however this card is urging you to persist in seeing the world at your feet.

The past is more than what you believe. It is a space that has allowed you to grow. People and situations that were placed on your path have enhanced your strengths. If you are reading this message today, understand that letting go of the past and the versions of you that identify with it, is one of the hardest things to do when changing your relationship with alcohol. When you have a break from alcohol you come into alignment with your true self, recognizing this is extremely daunting as, music, conversations, places and food become boring and outdated. To accept this is to truly step into that version of you that has lain dormant for years. To disregard this is to fall back into old patterns and behaviors reliving experiences that brought on your awakening around alcohol in the first place. Recognize the past as a teacher, embrace the change and understand that in years to come you will look back at this moment as a pivotal stage in your evolution.

We were always taught that alcohol has played a role in calming our emotions. In movies, it plays a character that helps in business meetings, through family break ups and so on. Over the course of our lives young or old, we always think that something else has affected our feelings, and alcohol has been a friend to pick us up and help us through. When we start changing our relationship with alcohol, even if it’s for a couple of days a week, we notice a drastic change in the way our next day unfolds. This card is here to bring attention to those days. Understand the clarity that you have.

Understanding this freedom has always eluded you. Wondering why a cycle keeps repeating, has been frustrating. Alcohol may have been present when attracting you to certain people. It spoke to you in ways that you understood. It helped you tick boxes that seemed important. Yet as time moves forward true identities are exposed. When you decide to drink less or not at all, we start to create our own checklist with what’s important, sometimes we start to feel totally different about the people who are the closest. Waking up and feeling like your part of a different tribe can be confronting, however normal the process. This message urges you to keep moving forward, evolution within your relations will happen, stay in your own lane with the understanding that the pattern is breaking.

We all want peace. Some of us protest for it, others meditate on it. When we change our relationship with alcohol, we automatically choose peace, consciously or unconsciously.

However in the early stages situations will show up as a glimmer of what’s to come.

Being grounded is a natural part of being human. Drinking alcohol takes us away from this experience as it enables us to escape from our earthly existence. Over time while using alcohol as a crutch, we have been lead to believe that grounding is a pastime, which needs to be purchased. When we walk away from alcohol or moderate it, we start to gravitate to what was our birthright, which was always to use nature as a means of escape. Understanding the power that nature is, using this as an emotional crutch leads to a healthy release. This card is a gentle reminder that nature is there to build us up, while changing our relationship with alcohol.

What makes us happy changes all the time. When you decide to give up alcohol or moderate it, choosing love is the best way forward. Alcohol has a loud voice, always wanting attention from us. However if we attach a certain amount of unhappiness to this voice in terms of feeling angry and discontent, we will naturally turn away from it. At the start of the journey away from alcohol this voice can be quite loud, almost drowning out the love in the room. As time goes on the opposite happens and you can hear the love of laughter and fun more clearly. The happiness that was always there resurfaces and you start to treat alcohol as that unhappy friend who is uninvited to events.

The origin of alcohol was for medicinal use. The way this use has changed in society is reflective of the way families have used alcohol and communicated the benefits over time. To change this root system in your own lifetime means changing the dialogue around alcohol within your family. Once this narrative has been changed every person within your family has the chance to awaken to a new conversation. Some will want to play the same old game loving the confusion from the dialogue that doesn’t make sense; others will embrace the new way comforted by the honesty and transparency of the fresh start. This card is speaking to a collective of people who are mentors within their family. Sometimes this lesson becomes clear when we are still in school, for others it is when we start our own families, and for many it is when we watch our own children extend their families wanting them to choose a better root system than we did. This message is thanking you for changing that dialogue around alcohol creating a legacy, which promotes health and well-being.

Replacement is one of the confusing topics when giving up alcohol. As we have seen in society it is easy to confuse replacing a habit with transferring a habit. Alcohol is complexed . Its tentacle’s are far reaching, therefore having many gateways, which lead back to it. Self-care is one past time that cannot be confused and mistaken as a gateway to alcohol. Caring for your self and healing yourself is something that is necessary on a daily basis when changing your relationship with alcohol. Baths, walks, meditation, herbs, massages, reading, music, dance, exercise, gardening. These are all examples of ways to pour into us, which subdue the want for alcohol. Sugar has been a huge replacement for alcohol over time. In the early stages of changing the relationship with alcohol this can be helpful. However self-care still remains the best option and one that brings joy to the experience.
