“Finally, I saw how my drinking was robbing me of opportunities.
Gradually, I’ve been putting my life in order, including developing new routines, activities, and relationships. Now, I feel in control and like I can improve my health. I abstain from drinking, and I’ve started a diet.
I’ve already lost some weight, more than I have at any other time in my life. I feel great, full of energy. There’s no more brain fog. There are many things I can do now because of the sense of discipline I’ve gained in being alcohol-free. I’m not battling myself anymore. I was sick and tired of the self-destructive path I was on for so long. I was suffering internally without real awareness of what was going on with me. Now, I have a sense of wholeness and clarity; my mood is calm. I feel empowered to do more, to try new things. I’m starting to understand more about myself and my loved ones. I know I’m at the beginning of my journey and that there will be temptations on the path. But I’m sure about this change. I embrace this way of life and accept myself, my past, and my decision to
be alcohol free.” —Beverly
