6 Years Sober From Alcohol: My Story

On December 7, 2015, I quit drinking alcohol.

It was the catalyst to so much growth and healing for me. In this video, I tell the story of how and why I quit and explain my journey of healing and recovery along the way.

I also share what I've learned and my advice if you are evaluating your own relationship with alcohol.

I hope this helps you if you are experiencing problems in your life and wondering if your drinking has anything to do with it. Only you know the answer to that, but I hope my story helps you find that answer for you.

Thank you for your video and super that you have been sober for so long. Very inspiring. I'm 6 years sober too. I went to rehab and before that was in years of personal therapy. Best decision i ever made. Every year I look for videos with people like you who remind me of why I drank and why I stopped, and why I will continue to be sober. Thanks again.❤
