Happy two year Sober•ish Birthversay to me!
Is it a birthday? Is it an anniversary? I think it’s both.
A new beginning and an honoring of a commitment.
Two years ago I decided I was a woman who deserved better. I decided to choose me over booze. I decided to keep that promise every single day. That one decision changed everything.
Just like my birthday I have found myself really looking forward to this day for weeks. Unlike my birthday I won’t celebrate for a month or maybe I will. Only time will tell.
In fact I probably should. This day is as big as any for me. It’s the day that kicked off a journey that gave me so much.
Two years of more energy, freedom, clarity, peace.
Two years of booze playing a minescule role in my life.
Two years of no booze-related regret, shame and guilt.
If that’s not something to celebrate I don’t know what is.
So cheers to new decisions even the ones we have tried a hundred times before that will support us in being the humans we want to be.
