One year ago today I decided that enough was enough. That was the last time I was going to drink. I started reading books on personal growth and quitting alcohol for good which was very helpful. It was two years ago that I was grieving the loss of my brother and it was the hardest thing I have ever been through it spiraled me down so far. Looking back this past year I have grown so much, I can honestly say now that I know he is so proud of me and It feels good. Alcohol is poison but it’s so normalized in our society, I hate it and I feel awful for anyone struggling like I was. If I can be a friend or even just inspire one person to make the choice to cut alcohol out that would be amazing. It doesn’t have to win, I thought it was the answer to all of my problems and now I know it was causing all of my problems! I was depressed, sad, unhealthy, unhappy and overweight. Now today I am healthy, I am determined, I am conscious of my choices, I am starting a new chapter of my journey, I am losing weight and looking forward to celebrating many more years sober. I spent years trying to get healthy and lose the weight I needed to lose and every time I tried it didn’t work because I was poisoning myself. I am one year alcohol free, I have been focusing on my health for 6 months now, I have been drinking ketones and being consistent for the past month and a half and I have not felt this good in close to 8 years. Don’t let alcohol win, if you are struggling reach out. I’m proud of myself and that is an amazing feeling! Don’t let anyone doubt you or tell you that you cannot do something you set your mind to!
