  • I am officially 12 months alcohol-free!! When I started my sober journey at the beginning of 2023, hitting the one-year mark seemed like a world away, but here I am! I have talked a lot on my channel about the ways quitting drinking has benefited my life, my tips and tricks to successfully stopping or cutting back on alcohol, and how my social life has looked like since I quit drinking. Whether you're on a sober journey yourself, sober curious, or just interested in seeing what quitting drinking has been like for me - this video will do the trick!
    This video gets me a little emotional because not only did I keep a promise and commitment to myself but I truly changed my life this year after quitting drinking and I am just so incredibly proud.

    April will be my 10 years. I don't know you, but I am proud of you. If drinking is an issue for you, quitting is one of the best things you will do in your life. We do not need alcohol. There is no doubt anyone is healthier without booze. I encourage anyone working on this to just take it one day at a time. Keep on plugging away, and before you know it, alcohol/drugs will be long in the past.

    Spot on! The alcohal industry should be requiered to put a health warning lable stating the link between alcohal & depression. I just turned 70. I was a binger my whole life. High functioning big time binger! Booze on the weekend and always anti depresents pills on hand. I have been 99.9 percent no alcohal for 2 years. Only a few beers arround the camp fire at the annual reunion camping trip, and a sip of wine on NYE! Depresion 98 percent gone! When I do feel an episode creeping up, I am so better able to cope and divert. Going sober curlous was the best thing I ever did. At 70, I am now setting goals and achieving them !! You do a great presentation! Thank You! Te;D

    Congratulations on one year. That is truly amazing. I am at 206 days sober and it is the best decision I have ever made. I related to you so strongly when you spoke about how alcohol impacted your moods. It’s so nice to finally feel and know that your feelings are truly yours and not the unstable craziness that alcohol causes. Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring others 🤍

    Wow. I’m from Chicago originally and I am happy to hear you found yourself in the city without alcohol. The city has so much to offer without the drinking and I’ve seen it too often where people get sucked into the night life and chasing the high. Props, Madeline.

    Moderation is a myth, so is being a "responsible drinker". A drink or two is okay, if you can afford to go backward for a few days, because that is the price paid! Te;D

    Some folks don’t have control and that’s truly sad. A glass of wine, a beer with friend, and a shot for celebration is FINE. It’s those pain-in-ass folks that ruin it for everyone else. (Awkward cough) like folks like this gal.
