Being Alcohol is a journey, not a destination. It is a daily commitment to living life without alcohol or drugs. It is a process of healing and growth.
My sobriety journey began on 11/01/2020. I had been struggling with alcohol addiction for many years. It had taken a toll on my health, my relationships, and my career. I knew that I needed to make a change.
I decided to take a month off originally as a cleanse/break It was the hardest thing I have ever done, but it was also the best decision I have ever made. By the end of that month I decided to end the year of right and by the end of that month I decided to start the year off right. In my recovery, I learned about addiction and the recovery process. I also developed a strong support network of other people who were in recovery.
I continued to work on my sobriety. I went , attended support groups, and read books and articles about recovery. I also started to make changes to my lifestyle. I started exercising, eating healthier, and getting more sleep.
Sober living has been a challenge, but it has also been incredibly rewarding. I am now healthier, happier, and more productive than I have ever been. I have strong relationships with my family and friends. I have a successful career. And I am no longer a slave to addiction.
Here are two examples of how my sobriety has improved my life:
-
My relationships have improved. When I was drinking, I was often irritable and argumentative. I would say and do things that I regretted. Since I have gotten sober, my relationships have improved dramatically. I am now able to communicate more effectively and resolve conflict in a healthy way.
-
My health has improved. Drinking was taking a toll on my physical and mental health. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a fatty liver. I was also depressed and anxious. Since I have gotten sober, my health has improved significantly. My blood pressure and cholesterol levels have gone down. I have lost weight and feel more energetic. And my depression and anxiety have disappeared.
If you are struggling with addiction, I encourage you to seek help. There are many resources available to help you on your journey to sobriety. Remember, you are not alone.
