The Power in Our Pain

100 Days Sober

Heidi Engel Season 2 Episode 14

Over the years, I dabbled in sobriety bur never fully committed. I was scared of all the change that would come with sobriety, the responsibility to be myself. Turns out, I was wrong, very wrong. 

Sobriety is the most liberating, empowering and self-loved filled journey. I have been the codependent to the alcoholic and the alcoholic with the codependent. The difference between this time and other times? My heart is in it. This is for me. 

I was terrified of the changes that would come with sobriety but the truth is, I already made the scary changes and sobriety is the cherry on top. I love being sober. I love feeling healthy. I love celebrating myself in healthy ways. I love surrounding myself with healthy people. 

I didn't set out to count the days but here I am and I am celebrating. Sobriety is a day to day moment to moment choice and it's SO important to celebrate the milestones. 

I also share the vulnerable truth about the difference between this and other attempts at sobriety, the fears and shame that come with the journey to getting sober and pain of living in an alcoholic marriage. 

Please reach out if you need any help and support with your sobriety. You don't have to go it alone and you don't have to do it any other way than the one that works for you.
