Today, I have officially been sober from alcohol for 100 days! I could not be happier to say I’ve made it here. 100 days ago, I made a decision and a commitment to myself to change the path I was headed down.
Deciding to part ways with alcohol, was one of the hardest and best choices I have ever made. Looking back on the early days of my journey, I remember thinking, that this would be impossible. Sober from alcohol, forever... seemed like an impossibly long time. I remember thinking, what if I miss it? Although I did miss it a little at first, as time has gone on, that has almost completely gone away. The road was tough at first, and as the days turned to weeks and the weeks turned to months, it has become easier. I’ve realized that what holds true the most is, sobriety really is a marathon, not a race.
So here I am, 100 days free. But I couldn’t have done it alone. I have had the most fantastic support group. I have my family to thank, of course. They have been undeniably supportive of me, even quitting alongside me and helping me stay consistent. While I am well aware that the work doesn’t stop at 100 days, I am happy to say that today marks the beginning of a more beautiful life. It’s the beginning of a new lifestyle and state of mind. I’m so proud of myself, and I’m excited to see where this life takes me next.
