Six years FREE from the desire to drink today, by God’s grace 🙌🏼.
It’s been a complete identity shift, and honestly, sometimes I forget the depths of the struggle. The transition from chronic and destructive binge drinking to not even wanting to drink is nothing short of a miracle for me. The “hangxiety” (hangover + crippling anxiety), shame, frustration with myself, broken commitments, embarrassing moments, apologies, avoidance, and feeling lost and confused—there was a time I couldn’t even comprehend not drinking or not feeling anxiety about wanting to. I didn’t think I was capable. (I can’t — but HE can, and He DID!) I never imagined I’d have a career helping others with their sobriety and mental health. Thank you, Jesus!
As my Dad said, “God doesn’t abandon His kids.” I’m deeply grateful that my parents didn’t give up on me either. Thank you to every special soul in my life — family, friends, sober family, my wonderful partner Brian, and all my Sober Circle members. I love you all.
