One Year Sober Celebration
Today I am putting on my best Sunday clothes, because today marks my one year of sobriety.
This wasn’t a possibility in my mind for the last 20 years. My longest streak in this time period was one month. That are some shocking numbers looking at it now.
One year in, what has changed? The personality I was one year ago seems so far away now that it is hard to remember.
There are a lot of positive effects on the mind and the body when you quit drinking, especially when you are a problem drinker
I can safely say my whole outlook on life and my character changed for the better. There is more positivity and self-confidence going on nowadays. I am still working on a lot, but the differences are amazing.
It was not easy to get rid of such a mighty habit that was a big part of my personality. When you build a habit for 20 years, you can imagine how hard it is to get rid of that. At the beginning I wasn’t sure I could make it to one year, but after the 6th month I was confident that it is possible.
At the end, I want to say a big thank you to all the creators that are writing about sobriety. Because all of you inspired me to open up and try to write myself. Also, a big thanks to all the readers which found the way and the time to read my texts. I really appreciate you all!
Today I am going to celebrate and treat myself with a nice meal at a restaurant in Curaçao. I surely deserve that one.
Once again, thanks to you all, and let’s go for another even better year.
