FOUR MONTHS SOBER TODAY MF'ERS!

Today I am four months clean of alcohol since I started drinking regularly 11 years ago at age 18.

I used alcohol as a way to combat anxiety in social settings and man, it really is all downhill from there once you start relying on an addictive drug to be comfortable in your own skin.

Sobriety has allowed me to recognize and appreciate the beauty in life and in others and I'm starting to put that love back out into the world.

I'm even starting to like myself??? instead of tricking other people into thinking that I like myself.

My life has changed for the better exponentially since cutting out alcohol.

I see now that alcohol only took away from my life instead of giving me anything. Even in the uncomfortable times, the depressing times, the boring times, there has not once been a time that I looked back and thought a drink would make it better.

If anyone is considering it, you have my full on support and I encourage you to reach out for help! I will be there as a shoulder to complain or cry on or just to have a conversation about it.

RANT OVER LOVE LITERALLY ALL OF YOU WHO READ THIS FAR 💕
