Today, I am one year alcohol free. A year ago, I made the choice to quit drinking and it was one of the hardest, most impactful decisions of my life.

When I first decided to quit, I said to myself “am I really NEVER going to drink alcohol EVER again??” It seemed so daunting and unfathomable. And truth is, it was.

I had spent the last 20 years relying on alcohol to feel comfortable in social situations, and in doing so, lost myself in the process. When I removed alcohol from my life I was left wondering, “who the hell am I?” and “will I ever have fun again?!”

I once was a free spirit, uninhibited and unapologetically myself. I felt like I lost that girl long ago under the guise of alcohol and it was time to find her again.

So this past year has been spent doing just that, finding myself, figuring out who I really am. And spoiler alert: I found her!

Simply removing alcohol doesn’t instantly solve all your problems, but for me, doing so was the catalyst for real growth and change in my life.

Then fast forward to this past month where I spent it traveling and having the most beautiful and transformative experiences of my life.

I finally feel like me again.
And turns out, you CAN have fun without alcohol.

Spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically I have never felt better. I have never been happier. I have never been more uncertain about my future, and yet more excited about it at the same time.

I am so grateful and happy I made this decision and actually stuck to it. I did the hard thing and I followed through. I am SO damn proud of myself!

This lifestyle isn’t for everyone, but I felt like it was necessary for me, to truly grow and change the way I wanted to
.
If you have questions, or are “sober-curious”, please don’t hesitate to reach out. It would make me so happy if my story and journey could Inspire change in someone else. It can definitely be difficult and challenging at times, but it gets easier.

I totally love these quotes:

“A comfort zone is a beautiful place to be, but nothing ever grows there”

and

“it’s not always easy, but it is ALWAYS worth it” 🙌🏻✊🏻
