One year and 3 months down today. It’s my second birthday sober and I’m feeling great. Having lunch out with the family today. It has taken a while to reprogram my brain. Before I would find any celebration as an excuse to drink. Even alone. ESPECIALLY alone. Now I enjoy the company, period. 💜

Happy belated birthday! I relate with you on the finding any excuse to drink. When I finally gave it up, most of what I did ultimately served my need to consume alcohol. I had to reprogram my entire way of thinking too because it was my sole motivation for everything. Life is about more than that.
