Fear not !

Alcohol-free time has given me the adventure of life back. Because I have the energy to pursue it and the mental clarity to enjoy it. Going Af has also given me back connection to others. And it has given me back the ability to discover myself !

Because waking up bright and fresh without a hangover is a lot of fun!

For some of us that just never gets old .

Putting down the wine has given me mental clarity and energy, honesty (with myself…not hiding from myself anymore), access to feelings I was trying to drown (which doesn’t always feel good but is really important to my mental health), hangover-free mornings, greater appreciation of the beautiful “little things” in life.
