Thoughts on 4 Years of Sobriety
WOOT! I am so blessed and grateful to be celebrating health and personal evolution, surrounded by beloved community.
Sobriety was a terrifying concept at first, but the need kept showing up in my conversations with Spirit. And 4 years ago today I asked God, “Are you sure? Should I really quit drinking FOREVERRRRRR?”
And She said, “My love, I promise you that anything you think you’re going to lose by quitting alcohol is going to be replaced by gigantic waves of deep growth, harmony, love and more. It will improve literally every single aspect of your life.”
She placed the right people in my life at the right time because I trusted her — but that doesn’t mean it was easy AT ALL. This was like shadow work on steroids. I spent nights and filled journals unpacking all of shit I had been covering up with alcohol. I had to realize that my addiction wasn’t alcohol, it was co-dependency – the alcohol just gave me an excuse for bad decisions driven by co-dependency and numbed the guilt and shame of it all. But She was right, it was all worth it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to each of you who are in my life. If you are an old friend, thank you for sticking by me. If you are a new friend, thank you for being one of the gifts that come with sobriety. If you are just finding this and connecting with me, even as a visitor to this site, welcome. Thank you for weaving your beautiful energy into my life. I love you.
