If my sister and I had a penny for every time someone asked us how to tell people they’ve stopped drinking we’d be in Bali right now living in one of those glass floor villas over the water. It’s easy for us to tell people that what they think is their own business so do what’s best for you. When you’re the one struggling with it, however, it’s not so easy. For a lot of us we need to grieve our old drinking selves. I know I did. When alcohol has been your ride or die for years and years it can be more than a little challenging to let it go. When you’re known as the party girl and the one who’s up for anything and suddenly you’re not? It can be uncomfortable, disconcerting, and overwhelming. I had to remind myself that I don’t want people to think of me that way. I don’t want to be remembered as the one who can down more shots than anyone in the room. It’s a lot better to be remembered as someone who takes care of herself, helps others, and spreads a little joy. We don’t miss the sisters we used to be. They had their season(S). We learned our lesson. Happy Tuesday, sober family! Keep it simple today.
