⁣
Alcohol used to have a massive hold on me. ⁣
⁣
It used to be something that I would turn to for relaxation, focus, and just a taste. ⁣
⁣
I never thought it was a problem until I looked at it from an outside perspective and realized all the justifications I had around alcohol. ⁣
⁣
All the excuses for why I wouldn’t do things because I couldn’t be without alcohol. ⁣
⁣
I started drinking when I was 14 & for YEARS it became just a part of who I was.⁣
⁣
Well, no more.⁣
⁣
I no longer have to count the days. I don’t think about not drinking like I did in my first year of sobriety…⁣
⁣
But this is a cool day to celebrate.⁣
⁣
To look at my life now and know that I’m in 100% complete control feels good.
⁣
Knowing that every decision is made from a sober mind, not a clouded one, is a reassuring feeling. ⁣
⁣
Sobriety to me is more than just a word I used to describe my drinking preference. ⁣
⁣
It’s an expression of me choosing myself and my family over a substance that just poisons and who I truly am. ⁣
⁣
It’s me developing the internal stability needed to be the best father and husband I can be. The best entrepreneur and friend I can be.⁣
⁣
It’s me living in alignment with where I would like to go with my life, based on the true internal desires I have. ⁣
⁣
At the very beginning of my sober journey, it was tough for me to get over the hump, and then I just repeated to myself a straightforward question. I wanted to share with all of you. ⁣
⁣
Every time I wanted to drink, or someone would ask me why I wasn’t drinking. I would ask myself one question…⁣
⁣
What’s the benefit? ⁣

𝙏𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜? If I can’t hang out with these people sober I probably don’t like them in the first place. ⁣
⁣
𝙏𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙭? If you feel that stressed out, you either need to eat, sleep, or talk it out with a friend you don’t need to do it at the bottom of the bottle.⁣
⁣
I don’t need alcohol to be ME.⁣
⁣
Here’s to 4 years going in the rest of my life! The last year has been a dream.⁣.. I’m proud! 🐺🩶
