This is a question I was asked over the summer and then asked again a few weeks ago. It made me stop and think. My answer then, compared to now are dramatically different, and it’s due to the choices and the changes I’ve made over the past few months. Last year was one of the most transformational years I’ve ever experienced in my entire life, and I know that’s a big statement, but I don’t really know how else to describe it to you.

The biggest change isn’t what I’ve given up. It’s what I have gained since reclaiming myself.

My relationship with alcohol has always been a doozy to explain and experience—for both myself and those around me. It all came down to the escape at the end of the day. Not the path we took, but I realized that wasn’t the safest for me anymore.

Now here we are. Happy to be here because, truthfully, there is nowhere else I’d rather be. Ha, see what I did there? Promise I won’t always be so cheesy(maybe).

Anchor: "Try on a new day.” Whatever it is for you, just try on a new day, baby steps;)
