6 months ago I made a decision to stop drinking.
I didn’t have stereotypical “rock bottom”
I didn’t lose my house
I didn’t lose my kids
I didn’t lose my job
What I did lose, was myself.
I lost myself years ago.
I used to tell myself it was okay to drink because I still took care of business.
In reality I wasn’t.
I took care of my kids, I worked, gym, all the ins and outs of running a household.
Hungover, half-assing everything I did.
A version of myself I got sick of being.
I didn’t want to get to a point to where I couldn’t stop.
So I woke up Jan 1st and said no more.
It’s been lonely, eye opening, and one of the best things I’ve ever chosen to do.
I feel like I’m getting to know myself all over again.
I learned so much from this experience and I look forward to reaching a full year.
You don’t have to hit rock bottom to change your life.
Thank you to the people who support me & encourage me during the hard days.
