@hospicenursejulie: Sobriety is more than JUST quitting drinking. #education #sobriety #recovery #alcoholismo

@Ilovefood :

What kind of help, if you don’t mind me asking? Meds, therapy, meetings? I think so many people with addictions would give an arm to be able to be present and living in the moment, content, and at peace

Sue :

I’m 2 years sober. I got a call from the doctor telling me had severe cirrhosis of the liver and that made me quit.

Lindsey Padgett :

Best hair on the internet

Kellreneeee67 :

💙Denise💙 :

I wish my ex husband would have come to this realization.

LifeGuide :

MeMere :

This is so true!

Brandi Edwards :

One day at a time

Susan Goforth :

It's crazy to me because I drank a lot on a daily basis. Beer and shots of vodka was my thing. One evening I cracked open a beer and took a drink and gagged so bad. I looked at my husband and told him, I can't drink this, do you want it. That was 6 years ago and I haven't drank since. I don't even have the desire. I'm so happy for you Julie! It's a wonderful feeling 🥰

ColGall :

Good for you 🤗🙏🏻💐

Raven Grace :

that's such a HUGE accomplishment! I'm glad you stayed sober, I love your content!

Thanks partly to you, I am now 85 days alcohol free. So many failed attempts, but it finally clicked and I feel so much better! Thank you for being an inspiration 🥰

Diana :

Please advise that stopping drinking cold turkey if you are used to a high consumption can land a person in the ICU. Many times it requires medical and medicinal help

For me it was perimenopause. The 10-20 minutes of fun and joy just didn‘t outweigh the daylong headaches and hangovers anymore. I finally realized I don‘t want to deliberately poison my Body and mind anymore.

ggjahn :

Gurl, I think if I had your job, I'd drink too. So happy you did so at 33; I stopped at 50 and wished I'd done so earlier (I'm 71 now). I tried turning down the amount and finally came to the conclusion all or nothing. It was like getting unstuck car out of the snow (you have to rock it back and forth to finally get out of the rut). Sober is a good place to be.

Tracy H :

God needed you to be there for our hospice loved ones. I’m glad you got professional help. I’m so happy for you and everything you do. ❤️❤️

Paula Norman :

Thank you Julie. for your story! I came into AA/NA @ 33 years old love and appreciate your content, ALWAYS!

Bonnie Vincent :

Congratulations on your years of sobriety! The family and loved ones of an alcoholic who quits drinking also have major adjustments to make. Dealing with the drinker’s sober anxiety, the changes in how the family unit works, and so much more. Eventually, things settle down and the true person is revealed, but there’s always that worry that something will trigger another drink. There’s Alanon for a drinker’s family while they are drinking, but what is there for them during the transition period?

Congratulations 🎉

Sandy :

I never drank but there a lot of things we can get addicted too. It doesn't matter what it is. The struggle is real.

Jean :

Alcohol wasn't the problem. It was the solution. So glad you surrendered and found a different solution. 🥰
