Thank you for this piece, Kristen. I relate in so many ways. I am 9 months sober and am so grateful for every hangover free morning in which I can remember the night before with my daughters. Thank you again for your beautiful and honest story.
I loved reading this Kristen. It's so helpful that you shared how the process of learning to not drink, and do something supportive instead, gets ingrained. Celebrating you in your sobriety - as I know well, it takes enormous courage to get there and stay there x
I love this. I am on year 3 and it still surprises me that I can now rely on myself in a crisis. I can pick up the phone in the middle of the night if there is an emergency. I can get my dog to the vet. I can get everyone home after a long night out. I know I won't be drunk and will be able to handle my shit. It's an ongoing gift because it still takes me by surprise every time. Congratulations on two years, kudos to you for getting through these hard times. IWNDWYT.

Such a helpful read. Thank you. Iām on day 12 and your words make so much sense. š«
Sending blessings for courage and serenity, Trudi. And heart-sourced celebration of your 12 days.
Dana, thank you! That means so much š„°
