My path to Sobriety Part II
What started as a 30 Day Alcohol Experiment has now turned into four years of sobriety.
Quitting drinking has been one of the most empowering and life-changing decisions I have made since I started my healing path.
Letting go of alcohol freed me from the grips of anxiety, and has allowed me to live a more authentic and aligned life.
Join me in Part II of my path to sobriety where I discuss my first year sober and all the learning that came along with it.
