I just made it to 1,000 days of sobriety over the weekend. Did I ever think I’d be celebrating 4 digits of alcohol-free days while hosting my first Sober Girls Getaway retreat? (More on this later.) Not in my wildest dreams. In the last 1,000 days, I’ve formed so many incredible friendships, faced hard truths, learned many lessons, had aha moments, and felt so much pure joy. I didn’t know this type of growth was possible for me in my 30’s but as it turns out, I’m just getting started.
I really do believe that’s why we are here. We are not meant to float aimlessly through this human existence. The trauma, heartache, and unconditional love we experience is all part of the journey. It’s meant to be felt deeply, all of it. Knowing when you’re in it is one of the most challenging tasks.
Sobriety has allowed me to be present in those ebbs and flows and to really examine the feelings as they are happening. Without it, I would still be letting life happen to me completely unaware that I was on the cusp of another eureka moment of self-discovery. Without it, I would still be stuck in an exhausting cycle of mediocrity, always wondering if this was all there was to life.
I’ve learned that this life is a fleeting opportunity to do whatever the hell you want with. You can choose to change your path at any given moment. You can choose to grow, love hard, get honest, and find out what really makes your soul smile. These last 1,000 days haven’t been easy by any means. They have brought me to my fu***ng knees at times. But in them, I’ve found the strength to get back up and move forward, one step at a time, every damn time.
I’ve found myself again. I’m still the same little girl who just wanted to use my power for good but now, I’m able to recognize that as my life’s purpose and put it into motion. Reconnecting with myself has opened the door for me to be able to connect with others too. I get to be a person who provides a sense of belonging to those who, like me, have always felt a little lost and scared. What an absolute 1,000 percent honor it’s been. And like I said, I’m just getting started. ♥️
Keep growing, keep going. ✌️
