I partied most of my life. The sun coming up meant I had over done it. It happened often. It reminded me I was fucking up & wasting my day. I dreaded it. But none the less I kept over doing it. It went on for 20 years. The past year of my life I haven’t had a single sip of alcohol. I’ve chased every sunrise possible. I’ve chosen myself and my sobriety over everything else. I became the girl who goes to bed at 9pm. I replaced my bad habits with beautiful ones and I am incredibly proud of myself. It hasn’t been easy. I’ve been criticized, judged & questioned by a lot of the people I love. It’s ok, change is hard for everyone. But this change saved my life & I have never woken up and wished I was hungover. It is through the grace of God and consistency that I’ve been able to break a generational addiction. I don’t miss drinking whatsoever. I’m much more alert, present, aware & grateful than I have ever been. After years of numbing I have learned to feel. The good & the bad, it’s all divine & happening in our favor. I hope this inspires you to stop doing things that don’t serve your well-being just because they’re “normal”. It’s ok to not be like everyone else, it’s actually liberating as fuck. This is me, as the sun rose in Tulum. I had just finished sharing my meditation practice with beautiful souls on the beach & one of them took this picture. Happiness is a choice. Stop taking it away from yourself! Be realistic, expect a miracle! I love you. 📷: @adamphotolove
