This past year has been one of the most emotionally trying of my sobriety so far. I had to use every tool in my emotional sobriety toolkit to get through it.
Here’s what 14 years has taught me:
Going through hard stuff doesn’t mean the answer is drinking.
The pain will still be there either way. Alcohol doesn’t take it away. It just adds a hangover and a few more problems on top.
Sobriety was never about life being easy. It’s about learning how to actually feel your life instead of numbing it and hoping it disappears.
If you’re in a hard season right now, sober or not that’s not proof something is wrong with you. It’s proof you’re living a real life.
You don’t need alcohol to get through it. You need your people, your tools, and time.
Grateful for every single one of you who has walked this with me. 🙋🏼♀️⚡️
