I’m over 3 years sober & drank alcohol today.

This afternoon I was out for lunch with my friend & decided to get a mocktail to be fancy, instead of my regular oat latte.

When it arrived I took a picture of how pretty it was and took a few sips… instantly I had a gut feeling.

There is alcohol in my drink.

At first I kind of gaslit myself - maybe it’s just REALLY good de-alcoholized champagne, maybe I’m being “too sensitive”. I could just drink it… I mentioned it to my friend and decided I’d double check with the server.

I tried my best to enjoy my lunch but I felt the glass almost taunting me. Maybe it wasn’t alcoholic. Was I going to make the server feel bad? Will they think I’m being “extra” or annoying for double checking?

When the server came back around I asked “I’m sorry to ask but I wanted to double check that this is alcohol free”… and instantly I knew by her reply.

I had drank alcohol.

After over three years of fighting for my life to remain sober & healthy, I accidentally consumed what almost consumed me.

I felt a huge jolt of shame.

The server whisked the drink away & offered to replace it with a de-alcoholized one, which I gladly accepted.

But - instead of letting myself spiral I took a second and thought to myself… “but you didn’t keep drinking it”.

I didn’t keep drinking it.

I stopped.
I double checked.

I could have easily not said anything and no one would have known.

I respected my own sobriety enough to say no.

No.

A simple word I couldn’t use just a few years ago.

I called my husband and let him know, and he said he was so sorry & was proud of me for saying something, but also for instantly calling him and not hiding it.

Life is never going to be perfect, and sobriety is rarely “pretty”, but what’s the most important is the conscious choice & effort to remain true to the promise I made.

I did nothing intentionally.
I stopped and said no.

Today, although I took a few sips of alcohol, I was also brave and proved to myself how strong I really am.

Maybe the universe was testing me today.

Today I am still over three years sober when I easily couldn’t be.

🖤

Always feel strong enough to double check your drinks, friends. If I didn’t, I don’t know how the day would have ended. 🫶🏻

Being sober doesn’t look the same on everyone — and that’s okay.

For some, sobriety means never drinking or using again.
For others, it’s choosing moderation, harm reduction, or simply breaking one toxic habit at a time.

Some people go to meetings.
Some go to therapy.
Some lean on faith.
Some lean on community.
Some rebuild quietly, with no one watching.

Sobriety isn’t a single path.
It’s a personal decision to choose better—whatever “better” looks like for you.

No comparison.
No shame.
No timeline.

Just growth, healing, and the courage to keep showing up for yourself. 💛✨

Today we Remember all of those who have fought, and those who continue to fight for our freedoms. We remember those who lost their lives in battle and those who carry the scars through their lives for us.

On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month we pause and take a moment of silence to honour their sacrifice. It is at that time in 1918 the armistice was signed ceasing hostilities on the western front.

Lest We Forget
