Today marks 3 years being alcohol free, and I don’t have that much to say about it. I feel like that’s a big win in itself.
This is now my normal. It’s not something I’m constantly thinking about anymore. I used to wonder when the continuous loop of thoughts would stop. Then one day, they just did. I actually had to double-check my sober tracking app to make sure January 8th was in fact my sobriety date.
This is just my way of life. It’s who I am—and that feels really fu***ng good.
As time has gone on, I’ve realized there are really no coincidences. Every step, every obstacle, every success, and every failure was meant just for me. Grateful is a word I overuse, but I don’t really know how else to put it. I truly feel so thankful for every single person placed in my path and every situation I’ve faced, because it’s all about the journey—and mine continues to be one epic ride.
I find out more about myself every day. Sobriety has given me the space, clarity, and curiosity to explore. I have so much love for little Britney and who she’s become. What a gift to really see yourself and be proud of who that person is.
The work is far from over. I’ll be growing and healing for the rest of my days. There will be more ebbs and flows, more triumphs and heartache. That’s life. Knowing I’m always clear-minded, open-hearted, and ready for anything brings me comfort. These periods of stillness bring me peace.
Today, on my third soberversary, it’s like any other day—and the best day all at once. I will celebrate myself and all of you who have inspired me, supported me, and walked alongside me. This freedom is a forever thing. This life is more beautiful than I ever could’ve imagined. If you feel stuck, you don’t have to. Please reach out to me - I’m here to listen.
I guess this is me not having “that much to say about it.” Forever a long-winded lady. In that spirit, I’ll just say it again or three more times: grateful, grateful, grateful. I love you. ❤️
