Yes yes yes to all of this. I quit drinking four years ago on December 26. New Year’s was right around the corner, my birthday was a couple of days after that and I just said I was done. I said it needs to be “right now“. At first it was the goal of 30 days and then that turned into four years. In a few days I look forward to celebrating December 26 for very different reasons! Now I celebrate the holidays but I celebrate myself on Boxing Day! Four years down rest of my life to go. Thanks for your amazing writings
This is such a great post/response. I appreciate the time you took Mia in writing it. It reminded me so much of where I was at last year. I loved wine/lifestyle and so did my husband. I have colitis also. Now a year later, I look forward to my first Christmas without wine, my husband gave up wine (still drinks beer), colitis is cleared and I am so much happier. Grateful for living a life that doesn't involve numbing it with alcohol. Merriest of Christmas' to all ❣
Your beautiful response is such a testament to how much can change in one short year! Happy holidays to you and your family. Thank you for being part of this community. xx M
