GOOD START –
Aug. 26, 2023 – “It was hard work at first and sometimes it does still feel difficult especially with the social pressure to drink, in our society it almost felt impossible not to, but a big shift happened when I realised I had the power to choose to say no! “It’s not about ‘giving up’ or ‘quitting’ it’s about living my most authentic life in a way that makes me feel my best,” the mum-of-two continued.
“I realised saying no to things that no longer serve me creates space in my life for things that bring me joy, and that’s been a big part of the past year, rediscovering myself, who I am at 34 and what brings me happiness. I care less about what people think of me and I have a lot less anxiety!
“I didn’t set a time limit, but I’ll avoid alcohol for it for as long as feels right. I’m so proud of myself for making it a whole year, for making a promise to myself and sticking to it, Millie in her 20’s or even a few years ago wouldn’t have had the courage to make it this far and I’m so proud of that growth.”
