Discover the Power of Going Alcohol-Free for 40 Days

High Friends,

Life has a way of throwing curveballs when you least expect it. Just after getting married, I was hit with some life-altering news: after fertility testing, I was told that I would never have children on my own. The only options, they said, were egg donation or adoption. And to be completely honest, that was devastating.

But here's the thing—becoming a mom was never really part of my "end goal" plan. I was happy in my life, enjoying the journey, and thinking, "If it happens, cool." So, when I was faced with the stark reality of infertility, it was like the ground beneath me was suddenly pulled away. Control was something I no longer had.

Now, what most people don’t know is that around this time, I had switched jobs, and my new employer offered unbelievable benefits. So, I went from hearing that I’d never have children to receiving a "blank check" to try. The universe, right? 

But what came next was hard: four rounds of fertility treatments. Thousands of shots, bloodwork, scans... and losses. All while navigating an overwhelming emotional rollercoaster. And yes, my coping mechanism at the time was alcohol, which, as you can imagine, didn’t help one bit.

Fast forward to early 2020, when my husband and I reached our breaking point. We had made it through Christmas, an ER visit on New Year's and emergency surgery to have my appendix removed, birthdays, and Mardi Gras (all while designing, building and furnishing our forever home), and decided to give it one last shot with fertility treatments. But this time, I made a commitment: I was going alcohol-free for this final round, knowing deep down it would be crucial to my body and mind.

That’s when I discovered Alcohol Free for Forty.

I didn’t know it at the time, but this challenge was exactly what I needed. It was my “excuse” to go alcohol-free for the first time in years, without having to dive into all the details of my fertility journey. I started the program just before my procedure in February 2020, and by March 13, 2020—the world was shut down. But guess what? My miracle baby arrived, and I’ll forever believe fate brought Alcohol Free for Forty into my life at the perfect time.
