Discovering My True Self: 60 Days Without Alcohol

Here's a heart-to-heart for you: 60 days ago, I decided to step back from alcohol. Not for a challenge but as part of my journey to being authentic with myself. 🌿

You know how I always say to build great relationships with others, you first need to be true to yourself? Well, this was me doing just that. This journey was personal, shared only with those closest to me.

And here's what unfolded: I've always been the social drinker - you know, wine in hand at every gathering. But I've learned something powerful: I don't need that glass of wine to savor every moment. From lively parties to cozy date nights, I enjoyed them all, completely alcohol-free. 🎈

Navigating the festive season without a drink...Surprisingly, I didn't miss it at all! 🎉

This little experiment opened my eyes to a habit I wasn't fully aware of. In December alone, I realized there were 18 occasions where I would've typically had a drink. That's eighteen times! It was a wake-up call about how much our environment influences our choices.

And guess what? Others react interestingly when you're not drinking. It's like a mirror to their own habits. But here's the thing - what you choose to drink (or not) shouldn't be about fitting in. It's about what feels right for you, authentically. 🪄

The changes have been amazing: richer conversations, more energetic weekends, better sleep, glowing skin. And sometimes, all it takes to feel special is sparkling water in a fancy glass. 🥂

I'm not saying goodbye to alcohol forever. But my relationship with it has fundamentally shifted.

So, I'm inviting you to ponder this: How's your relationship with yourself? Exploring your habits, like your relationship with alcohol, can be a revealing part of this self-discovery. Remember, to connect authentically with others, start with being authentic with yourself.

You might just uncover something beautiful. 🌟
