My Journey 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 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.
