I realized I needed change when I started to see how my drinking was affecting my relationships and my health. I found myself isolating from friends and family, and the moments I thought I was having fun were often followed by overwhelming feelings of guilt and regret. A series of wake-up calls made me confront the reality of my situation—like missed work, arguments with loved ones, and just a general sense of unhappiness. It took some time, but I understood that to live a fulfilling life, I had to let go of alcohol and prioritize my well-being and connections. The journey to sobriety was challenging, but it’s brought me clarity and joy that I never thought possible.
