What is it like to live alcohol-free? Some people now find me puzzling. Puzzled that now I don’t drink any alcohol at all and how on earth I can be happy about that. Puzzled because they believe – just like I used to believe – that to live life without any alcohol in it at all is not enjoyable. That it can’t be possible to be so joyful that I don’t have it in my life anymore. That I must be in torment at my loss…..
That I must be lying.
That people like me don’t exist. Like a unicorn.
It was hard for me at first to love being a unicorn.
It took a long time to become comfortable in my choice and see the lies behind the advertising of alcohol.
The lies behind what alcohol promises.
But now I do.
Be a unicorn……
