100 WORDS

Drink Free

I chose sobriety for 12 years as it was necessary for that time in my life.

I chose to walk away from it in hopes that I could find the ability to live a life of moderation.

I am finding that self-love was one of the root issues regarding my sobriety.

I found if I cannot trust myself and if I do not love myself, then moderation often lies beyond my reach.

Self-destruction is no longer an acceptable identity.

I can enjoy life, trust myself, and continue to work towards loving every part of who I am.

Beer me.
