This mindset shift didn't happen overnight, and I, too, couldn't imagine living my life without alcohol. The forever word was too daunting.

How am I going to make it through the holidays without alcohol?

How am I going to relax after a stressful day?

How am I going to feel all my emotions and live to tell about it?

But here I am, over 5 years sober, and I have no desire whatsoever to have a drink. I've worked way too hard to give in to a substance that destroyed me. It took me years to build myself back up, and I'll be damned if I'll let a poison take away my happiness, time, and money again.

NOT NOW. NOT EVER.

Too many of you are giving in before this happens.

Too many of you are giving in for that temporary quick fix only to feel anxious, sad, and like a failure a few hours later.

Is that temporary relief worth it?

At the moment, you think it is, but surf that urge so you can be proud of yourself and get the confidence and consistency needed to break out of this pattern. To give yourself a chance to see the rewards.

All it is is taking it one day at a time. I know it's super cliche, but it really can be that simple. I and millions of others wouldn't be sharing how an alcohol-free life is worth it if it wasn't. Yes, it was hard in the beginning, but it gets easier. Keep going until it clicks because it will if you allow it to.
