I 27F am 5 months sober! :)

I’ve still got a long way to go but I am so proud of myself.

I was playing poker at the pub and someone kept offering to buy me a shot. I kept saying no and ended up leaving to play the pokies to which he followed me and put the shot glass in my hand.

I looked at the glass and thanked him before giving it to the person next to me to which they happily accepted.

I have depression and anxiety and have been lost with a clouded mind for a very long time until I got sober.

I’m now on the road to trying to find my true self, to be the absolute best version of me and got a suggestion to try meditation.

Something that has really helped me stop drinking was to trick my brain into thinking that if I ever had that 1 drink that I would die. I can never get back the years I could have filled with happy memories instead of lying on the kitchen floor 3 bottles of wine deep with my family trying to call to see if I’m okay.

It’s not that we have a short time to live but that we waste a lot of it.

So guess the sober club has a new bloody member! 😁
