@devinedwelling: The funny thing about this sobriety journey is how much grace I’m finally able to show myself. I look at myself from even a year ago and I see some botched Botox and lip filler, some major awkwardness (that probably isn’t ever leaving 🤗), and despite it all I’m just so incredibly proud of myself… for once. I’m proud of putting myself out there and showing up and believing in myself, and it kind of cancels out any of the cringe. This journey has been messy and hard and it’s shaped me. Without the length of it and the time it’s taken, I wouldn’t have been able to handle the opportunities I’ve been given. Trust the journey. Embrace the challenges because that’s where the goodness is. That’s where the foundation gets built. Embrace the cringe. That version of you wasn’t embarrassing. She was building the woman you are now. #sober #sobercurious #alcoholfree #quitdrinking #soberaf
