Congrats on a year that's epic 🥳 I love hearing from my fellow sober community, thank you for the comment. So glad the video found it's way to the right people!

This! 💯. It's a beautiful thing to completely quit and take the time to get to know who you really are without it. I love it, thanks for this comment.

Oh that's my favorite (bubble water), I have one per day mixed with a fruity herbal tea I make by the pitcher with some lemon. It's my "mocktail" of choice. Your routine sounds ideal! 🤗

We don't have stores that are dedicated to non-alcoholic options that would be the dream! But most restaurants, bars, and stores have plenty of n/a beers, spirits, and wines to choose from. The n/a red wine is nearly undetectable, it's pretty wild. That's great your husband is getting the support he needs and good for him for giving it his best, it's not easy! Wishing all the best on that journey ❤️

Thank you for saying that, it bothers me in editing but I can't stop myself 😂 I am a tad animated I guess lol.

Hi, thanks for sharing your perspective. I remember when I first attempted to cut back I couldn't imagine quitting all together either, that thought scared me, like-am I really going to have NO FUN forever?? It took years of cutting back and taking breaks before I was just exhausted with the dance. It was a viscous cycle. When you are someone who desires peace and growth within yourself and you are on a path to seeking better mental health for yourself, you will doing anything to protect it. Sobriety has shown me that this version of "me sober" is far better than the one who drank. Two bottles of wine a day would have me on the floor, I have no idea how you've managed to continue on like that for over 25 years, but comparing my experience to yours is not my place and I'm not here to judge anyone for their personal choices, especially when it's a place I'm familiar with. My focus on quitting was less about weight and physical appearance (that was just a bonus), I was more interested in finding out who I am when I stopped relying on alcohol as a crutch to get me through things. Alcohol made me incredibly depressed. It has ruined the lives of people I know dearly, some lives have come to an unfortunate end because of it. I've grown to despise it. The clear mind I now have is a priceless feeling and I wouldn't change it for anything. You really don't know this feeling until you've made the decision to quit fully and that's a choice each individual must make for themselves. We are all different and unique on our own journey in this thing called life. I wish the best of health and happiness in yours. ❤️

@@SeannaMiriah I am so happy you got over it all and are now continuing to live a life that really gives you joy! Thankfully I wasn't classed in the 5% boozers who get through 300-1000 standard units a week. I was in the 105 units a week "group" however through it all and every scan and bloods they could run on me, I never returned anything that would prove medically remarkable, however maybe the fact that I am built like Mike Tyson on roids might have something to do with it. lol. Cheers from Australia.

❤️ You're welcome, hope it was helpful!

3 weeks is a great accomplishment, you should be proud! Take it day by day and be good to yourself. It's not easy! But it only continues to get better and better. ❤️

I'm so glad to hear it! I hope it helps :)

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, Campari was one of the last cocktails I drank, I LOVED it with soda and lemon. There's actually something called "Phony Negroni" by St. Agrestis and it is so spot on to that same flavor, I wonder if that's what they use?? If I ever see them anywhere I squeal like a kid 😂 If I'm travelling and see an Eataly I will know it has them from here on out!

Your sex organs will work better. Like night and day. It's like having sex for the first time again.
