Authenticity Alchemists often drink alcohol to stay in their emotional and social comfort zones. And yet, you've started to hear the subtle call to dive deeper into vulnerable and authentic relationships with yourself and others.

Tell me if this sounds familiar:

Then: As a child, you may have been expected to manage your emotions or even the emotions of those around you such as parents or siblings. It's likely you weren't taught productive ways to manage your most intense emotions.

Now: You are highly empathic and able to sense what others need to feel comfortable. You quickly attune to the emotional needs of others.

Because of this unique combination, you've unwittingly invested a lot of energy into creating a lifestyle and habits that allow you to avoid emotionally and socially uncomfortable situations.

Your relationship with alcohol: While it may have felt like you started using alcohol because "everyone else was doing it", it's also just as likely that you've used alcohol to avoid looking at areas where your social and emotional growth have been stunted.

Your sober curious calling:

The unique reason you’re drawn to change your relationship with alcohol.

As an Authenticity Alchemist, you are called to embrace vulnerability with yourself and others. You are a powerful, sensitive being and you are here to shed the layers of societal programming that have caused you to believe you are not capable of handling and deserving of feeling your most intense emotions. 

Likewise, you are intended to recognize that you are enough. You do not need to perform or transform in order for others to love and accept you. You were put on this planet at this precise time to break the chain of suboptimal coping in your family lineage and to show others what is possible.

Your biggest challenge:

in sober curiosity, your calling can also feel like your biggest challenge

Your biggest challenge as an Authenticity Alchemist is reprogramming years of patterning and limiting beliefs. You have likely inherited narratives about how you should behave and get along in the world.

You have avoided processing and expressing your emotions because you were never taught to do so properly. You need direction in releasing past traumas and judgments.

As a deep-feeler and highly sensitive being, you have likely been celebrated for your maturity and sensitivity toward others. You require support in learning how to set emotional boundaries in order to avoid taking on the negative emotions of others.
