Quitting Alcohol Required Changing My Whole Life (for the better)
I’m in my 4th year of sobriety.
It was painful to get out from under the grip of alcohol dependence.
Time and space from alcohol has changed me, my values, and my priorities.
I am a different person today, than I was on my last Day 1.
I continue to choose to live alcohol free every day.
I have no desire to drink alcohol anymore.
I thought being sober was going to be sad and boring.
I thought I would always feel like I was missing out.
I expected to be jealous of friends that were still drinking.
I am happy to report, that is not at all how I feel.
I do not feel like I am missing out on anything.
Sobriety does not feel like deprivation to me, it feels like a gift.
Not only am I not drinking, I also do not want to drink.
Sobriety feels like the world’s best kept secret.
It feels like the ultimate super power.
I no longer seek outside myself for comfort.
I have everything I need within.
