Description

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 journey.

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 journey to sobriety where I discuss my first year sober and all the learning that came along with it.
