“You’re not drinking? Not even for New Year’s?”
*raises apple juice* This week, I am 11 years alcohol-free.
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
(Including deleting social media apps from my phone ๐ )
At first, people thought it was radical to quit drinking brain toxins. ๐
– “How do you even celebrate?”
– “What about social events?”
– “Don’t you miss it?”
The funny thing about quitting alcohol?
It’s not about what you lose.
It’s about what you gain:
โข Mental clarity
โข Better sleep
โข True confidence
โข Present moments
So tonight:
I’ll raise my apple juice and celebrate with you
To new beginnings
To brave decisions
To being fully present
Because the best celebrations are the ones you can actually remember. ๐
Happy New Year! ๐
What’s your brave decision for 2026?
About the picture: December 2014, one of the last drinks. I feel a bit sorry for all the wineries that went bankrupt after that date……. ๐
