I love to see this baby bjorn joke continuing. Also for fucks sake is one of me and my husbands most favorite sayings. It makes me so happy to see it used here, and with an acronym ☺️☺️

It is so SO wild how it becomes less and less of a thing. I still have sooo much work to do, problems, things to talk about, all of the hard parts of being human. But now, even in my darkest and most stressful moments I don’t for once think about drinking (I hit 4 years last November). And I never thought I would be a person who could say that with honesty. What an incredible gift. And yes- absolute freedom 🤍

Your words here bring me such comfort. I’m 4 years sober tomorrow and the last 6 months have felt like me shedding a skin, one I keep zipping back on but don’t need anyone.

This made me pause: “Sobriety wove itself into the fabric of the many things that make me who I am”.

I have one foot in “sobriety will always hum in the background” - trusting that it need not encapsulate all of me/all of my attention.

And my other foot is stuck in a fear puddle. Worried this might be me being complacent. Because what if….

All this to say - thank for reassuring that part of me that knows I can trust the work I’ve done. The person I know am.

Fantastic, Emily! I’ve stopped for years at a time, and am now back to 4 months and FFS and can’t stop wondering why I ever thought drinking was better than the peace I always feel when I stop.

Onward!

Congratulations! I always love your perspective and honesty. You were a big help to me as a coach in The Alcohol Experiment in 2020, which is one of the reasons I am over 4 years sober and a completely different person today! ❤️

Thank you for this! I’m still a baby sober person, so it’s probably more of my personality than it should be, but it’s working for now. I’ve had a few people reach out to me about my journey and that makes me happy, I imagine I’ll calm down one of these days. 😂
