I’ll be 9 months alcohol free in 2 days. My life is so different from this time last year. Its SO MUCH BETTER. I’m able to realize that others problems are not my problems and that I am only in control of my own happiness and then my kids I guess lol. I started a new job this week…ive been a stay at home mom for 9 years. I would of never even applied if I was still drinking. I was able to walk in anxiety free and with a bunch of confidence instead. Probably for the first time ever. Ive been able to wake up at 4 am to run before work which I could never get up that early regularly.
Before that my relationship with my kids wasnt the best because i never had patience so it is a lot better now. I don’t miss the hangovers or the anxiety that came from needing a drink.
Its taken me so long to get here and I just have no desire to look back.
It definitely isn’t easy, but it is SO worth it…and it does get easier.
