As I travel the world with my Quit Drinking Bootcamp, I have lost count of the number of amazing mom’s and dad’s I have met who are suffering from something called Empty Nest Syndrome. It’s something that doesn’t get a whole lot of attention in the media, but it is a powerfully painful thing to deal with for many people.
Painful enough to send then reaching for a sedative to make it go away.
Change is challenging for most individuals, and let’s be honest… it’s unavoidable in life.
It may be particularly tricky, however, for a mom or dad all of a sudden coping with an empty house, that moment in life when their last teenager or grown-up child finally leaves home to set out on his/her own.
For many moms and dads, the freshly abandoned home ushers in the liberty to rediscover their own wants and desires more intensely. However, many other parents, are incredibly saddened by the experience of sending those not-so-little-anymore boys and girls off into the world.
The psychological ache can be considerable enough to set off (or aggravate) a dependence on drinking, resulting in misuse or addiction, and a necessity for courses like The Stop Drinking Expert.
