Thank you, Maggie! This resonated so deeply with me. I especially appreciated the reflection re: emotional and inner stability as a result of sobriety. It is the foundation for building an entirely new life, I've found.

Love this! I am passing it along to my daughter who shares many of the same feelings about her path toward health.

This is such a beautiful reflection. I am approaching my own “comma” at the end of this month. So much of what you share here resonates with me (particularly #3!). If you would have told the “old” me what simple delights I would find in sobriety, I never would have believed you! The little things - they REALLY are the big things. So glad I discovered this simple little life I curated for myself. Thanks for sharing and inspiring Maggie! ✨

Wow . I'm so proud of you. I've learned something else about you and your strength and courage I applaud. Both for finding the strength to step away from alcohol, but also for being able to publish your story. I have a dear friend who has stepped away from alcohol most of the time. She has learned that she doesn't need alcohol the enjoy herself. On VERY odd occasions she will have a glass of her favourite wine. But usually she drink alcohol free options, which here in the UK are growing.

Hugs and my love 💕💕
