I was a high functioning drinker like Jolene Park, and like her, I didn't have a "rock bottom" per se before I stopped drinking. That said, I'd have to categorize my drinking as really, really, really dark gray.
But her video is a great one, particularly for women who may be using drinking as too much of a crutch. And her NOURISH guidelines to support a more healthy lifestyle are good ones (starts around 6:50):
- Notice nature
- Observe your breath
- Unite with others
- Replenish [helpful neurotransmitters] with food
- Initiate movement [yoga is particularly good]
- Sit in stillness
- Harness your creativity
