One-Year Anniversary Of Becoming Sober
This month marks my one-year anniversary of sobriety.
I never thought I could ever do this, but I did!
For someone who has been drinking for over 25 years, I can say that becoming sober is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
I have spent the past year asking myself many questions.
Why am I the person I am today?
What have I learned from my past intimate relationships?
Exploring my childhood and try to understand the correlation to the person I have become.
Can I commit to a healing journey with a clear mind by becoming sober?
Can I self reflect and look forward to a brighter future?
People pleasing, self-blame, jealousy, or discontent were my regular emotions.
I never thought I was ever enough and would have very low self-esteem around others.
In the past year, with all the self-reflection and healing work I have done, I have learned to praise myself more and love myself in ways I have never done before.
I praised myself for all the excellent work and effort. I would give myself a break when things didn’t go as planned and tell myself it was okay.
