How to Reframe Your Struggle as Growth

Learning how to relax and have fun, without relying on alcohol.

I’m in a new town, getting to know new colleagues, away from my usual sober support network, and alcohol is such a central tenet of work and literary circles. It just seems so natural to drink. It seems so much easier.

“It’s a short cut to relaxation,” one of my colleagues says to me.

We are observing the queue at the pop-up pub of our students’ Christmas party. A handwritten sign announces beer pong.

“Nobody should need a short cut, but we do,” he says, with a shrug.

Oh, how I miss that lovely short cut sometimes!

The tension across the dynamics would lift and we would all sit and eat and drink and laugh together, maybe even dance…

My nanny, in particular, came alive at Happy Hour. Not because she was so drunk, but because she was so happy. Because the change was so marked in her.

She was the kind of matriarch who didn’t sit down to eat dinner until everyone else had everything they needed, but at Happy Hour she would finally, completely, totally relax.

No chastising me for whistling or micro-managing Grandad’s diet. No bickering with my mum or side looks at my dad. Just beatific, uninterruptable joy.

Her smile would be gigantic, eyes full of love as she looked over us all, sipping her plus-sized gin and tonic.

“Nanny’s getting happy!” my brother said once, and everyone laughed.

It was a pretty easy lesson.
