TRAVEL ALONG –
July 5, 2025 – Amy Davidson is opening up about her ongoing sobriety journey and how she sidesteps any potential pitfalls.
“Let’s talk triggers. I went to one of my favorite wineries/restaurants to celebrate a dear friend of mine yesterday and was surprised (and not fully prepared) by my reaction.” “I felt like I was slapped in the face with a huge life lesson. Being around wine, something I would drink every single day – it was challenging…
Davidson went on to explain that she quietly asked herself “what would happen if I had a sip or just one glass of wine?” while “feeling envious” of the people who were “able to enjoy it without the internal dialogue of wanting more and more.”
“Being amongst the ‘normalcy’ of drinking alcohol and not participating was a very big step for me,” she continued. “I haven’t participated in six months. I’m slowly changing my headspace from missing wine to being beyond grateful for not consuming it anymore. It sneaks up on you. The cravings, feeling like it’s going to fix a bad day, like it’s your best friend you get to hang out with on the couch, your sidekick, your confidence builder, your liquid courage.”
