@devinedwelling: Alcohol has been part of my life since I was very young and 3 years ago it became apparent that I could not move forward with my life unless I let it go. Now I am 3 years alcohol free. The longest I’ve been without a drink since I was 13 and the more sure I am I’m never going back. The first changes I experienced were physical, better sleep, clearer skin, more energy, less inflammation, better hair, weight loss, mental clarity. The physical ailments such as headaches, exhaustion and illnesses also began to subside and completely disappear. Then everything else started changing too. My relationships got deeper, some fell away, I became more reliable, more patient, more present, much more improved mental heath and I had so much more time and energy to actually build a life. The biggest thing though has been learning to trust myself. Every day I don’t drink, I keep a promise to myself, and that confidence has poured into every area of my life. In these three years I’ve built a thriving business, become a better mother, a better friend, a happier and healthier person, and someone who can actually feel things, deal with them and move forward. And maybe the greatest freedom is that I don’t think about drinking anymore. I don’t have that constant mental debate about whether I should drink, how much, when, or if I need to stop. Quitting drinking quite literally gave me my life back. #quitdrinking #sobercurious #alcoholfree #3yearssober
