My Sober Journey: 12 Months Alcohol Free!!

I am officially 12 months alcohol-free!! When I started my sober journey at the beginning of 2023, hitting the one-year mark seemed like a world away, but here I am! I have talked a lot on my channel about the ways quitting drinking has benefited my life, my tips and tricks to successfully stopping or cutting back on alcohol, and how my social life has looked like since I quit drinking. Whether you're on a sober journey yourself, sober curious, or just interested in seeing what quitting drinking has been like for me - this video will do the trick!

This video gets me a little emotional because not only did I keep a promise and commitment to myself but I truly changed my life this year after quitting drinking and I am just so incredibly proud.

Madeline wow great that you made it a whole year sober. I just decided 2024 is my year to be sober

April will be my 10 years. I don't know you, but I am proud of you. If drinking is an issue for you, quitting is one of the best things you will do in your life. We do not need alcohol. There is no doubt anyone is healthier without booze. I encourage anyone working on this to just take it one day at a time. Keep on plugging away, and before you know it, alcohol/drugs will be long in the past.

My friend passed at 33 this new years eve from liver failure from drinking, I don't know you but I'm proud of you an anyone who takes the steps to try and change and realize it is a problem, everyone deserves a chance at a long healthy good life. ❤

Spot on! The alcohal industry should be requiered to put a health warning lable stating the link between alcohal & depression. I just turned 70. I was a binger my whole life. High functioning big time binger! Booze on the weekend and always anti depresents pills on hand. I have been 99.9 percent no alcohal for 2 years. Only a few beers arround the camp fire at the annual reunion camping trip, and a sip of wine on NYE! Depresion 98 percent gone! When I do feel an episode creeping up, I am so better able to cope and divert. Going sober curlous was the best thing I ever did. At 70, I am now setting goals and achieving them !! You do a great presentation! Thank You! Te;D

It's crazy how much personal growth can truly experience in one year

I'm in the same place now. Stopped drinking day after Christmas 2023 to do dry January and I already know I will keep going. I'm trying to start my own business and really need to focus. Thanks for the inspiration!

Congratulations on one year. That is truly amazing. I am at 206 days sober and it is the best decision I have ever made. I related to you so strongly when you spoke about how alcohol impacted your moods. It’s so nice to finally feel and know that your feelings are truly yours and not the unstable craziness that alcohol causes. Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring others 🤍

[mustafakok]

Moderation is a myth, so is being a "responsible drinker". A drink or two is okay, if you can afford to go backward for a few days, because that is the price paid! Te;D

[patrickthilly]

3m and hope 12 m can do, save body save money 👍

[snappycattimesten]

Congratulations. You’re not an alcoholic, you’re a binge drinker. Both are alcohol use disorders. Best not to drink going forward as you are in denial over your ability to moderate alcohol use. Good luck.

Talking with that upward inflection is impossible to listen to.
