Today I’m celebrating 365 days of sobriety. Thats’s roughly 9,000 hours or 525K minutes. Most importantly, it’s more than 3 million breaths. If you’d have asked me a year ago whether I could go 3 million breaths without a drink, I probably would have spit out my wine and then peed a little from laughing so hard.
But, like I always say, life changes ONE CHOICE and ONE BREATH at a time. When you take a deep, honest look inside, you get clearer on what needs to shift to get closer to the life you want for yourself. That’s what I did. I looked inside. I asked myself some tough questions and the voice that answered was so scared, but at least she was honest. But that voice isn’t scared anymore. I’m not scared. I’m working from a place of intention, which is so much stronger than any old habit.
That’s not to say the road is always easy. It’s not, and sometimes it’s winding and cold and dark before the light comes and things straighten out. But things do have a way of straightening out, especially when you put in the work. You can let go and create new. It’s a question of repatterning.
So, whatever your thing is… that thing you want to change but aren’t sure how to do it… know it can be done. And you will be good. IT’LL ALL BE GOOD!
Just keep takin’ it a breath at a time. Then one day you’ll look back and see just how far you’ve come.
In Love and Solidarity
and Hope and Hugs and
All Those Things We Do
To Remind Each Other
That We Are Not Stuck,
