I’ve rewritten this many times now and this time I’m going to let God lead my words. I have never publicly shared this and some of you may know this, but most of you don’t. Today marks 1 year that I’ve made the choice to stop drinking alcohol. My initial decision was the most scariest and challenging choice I’ve made, but the leading days, weeks, months and now a year have been the most rewarding. I can’t form into words that would go along with all the emotions I feel. I am overwhelmed with gratefulness that God never left me. He was there the whole time. I contemplated even posting for the sake of judgment or worried about what people think of me, but this isn’t about me. I feel God has asked me to share to reach the ones who feel alone right now. Silently struggling. Ashamed and feel they can’t face it. You are not alone. He is there with you. If this post speaks to only one person, then my vulnerability is worth it. If you need someone to talk to, I’m a good listener. ♥️ I love that my sobriety date will fall around Thanksgiving every year. That’s very special to me and a whole new meaning to thankful! 🤟🏽 P.S. This is the only birthday I will be celebrating from now on 😎 #oneyearsober #sobrietyjourney #sobrietyisbeautiful #itsnotaboutme
