The Day I Chose Myself

On September 2, 2023, I put down my last bottle of alcohol and decided enough was enough. I stared at it for a while, thinking about how much it had taken from me: time, energy, and happiness. I realized I couldn’t keep letting it control me. So, I made the choice to walk away from it for good.

It wasn’t easy, and some days are still tough, but I knew I deserved better. I wanted more for myself, for my life, and for the people I care about. That one decision changed everything.

If you’re struggling, just know you can do this too. It’s not about being perfect or having it all figured out. It’s about taking it one day at a time and believing you’re worth it. Because you are.
