“I started my sober journey for my mental health. I always thought my biggest issue was my mental health, but it was alcohol. Finding the cause and stepping away from it has changed my life. I’m 2 years sober now and my mental health has been the best it’s ever been. I’m more confident being sober, as I’ve learnt to do things without needing the validation from being drunk to do it. It’s made me also realise who my real friends are. Some liked the old me, the drunk me, the mentally ill me. But my real friends like the healthier sober version of me. Being sober is empowering. I remember every social event, I never waste a day in bed and I save so much money. I love sober me.”
