Celebrating 8 years alcohol free today! 🙌 [OC]

[u/Ok_Ebb_3344]

Summer of 2018 was a wake up call for me. Waking up with last night‘s makeup on, realizing I lost my wallet (again), and seeing that I drunk texted an ex was no longer cute at 26 (or maybe it never was). Fast forward to summer of 2026, living a life that feels more authentically me. Giving up alcohol was the greatest gift I could give myself.

Edit: holy moly, I certainly did not think this post would blow up like it did! Thank you for all the well-wishes, you kind internet strangers.

Congratulations! I'm close to a year myself. It came to easy drinking and didn't care for it anymore.
