one year sober !!! I’m not really sure what to say, but I know I want to say something, because this decision completely changed my life. I wasn’t an alcoholic. I didn’t have some crazy rock-bottom story that made me wake up one day and decide I needed to stop. I was honestly just like most of you, a normal girl in her 20s doing what I thought were normal things.. going out with my friends, drinking on the weekends, making plans around nights out. I remember I use to not want to take antibiotics when I was sick just because I wanted to be able to drink 😅 But looking back, I can see God was trying to get my attention for years. I kept feeling this tug in my heart to stop, and I kept talking myself out of it because I didn’t think I had a “reason” to. Eventually, I realized maybe I didn’t need a dramatic reason. Maybe God asking me to let it go was reason enough. So I surrendered it to Him. & once I did, I found out how much life there was outside of drinking. I didn’t lose the life I thought I was giving up. God gave me a life I didn’t even know I wanted. I’m sharing this because I know I can’t be the only girl who has ever felt that tug and thought, “But I don’t have a problem, so why would I stop?” Maybe you don’t have a problem. Maybe God is just calling you to something different. Maybe He’s asking you to be set apart. One year ago I put the drink down, & I’m so grateful I finally did. 💘 #sobertiktok
