๐ฌ Watched & Rooted Wednesday ๐ซ๐ป
Today's Watched & Rooted Wednesday feels extra special because today marks 7 years alcohol-free. ๐ For 25 years I was a horrible alcoholic. When I first got sober, I thought I was just quitting alcohol. Ditching the hangovers.
I had no idea I was about to create a entirely different life. Annnnnd the greatest gift wasn't better sleep, more energy, or even better health.
It was my family.
I was given the opportunity to rebuild relationships with my kids and the people I love most. There were bridges I nearly destroyed forever, and over the years, one conversation, one apology, and one day at a time, those bridges were rebuilt. It has not been easy. Some days I wanted to throw in the towel and grab a bottle of Jack!
BUT โ my kids got their mom back.
And now my grandkids get the Oma they deserve.
And I was saved. Sobriety introduced to me Big Daddy J ๐ฑ
That will always be my greatest victory ๐ซ
Sobriety also gave me the clarity to rediscover my love of cooking, heal my relationship with food, BELIEVE IN MYSELF, and eventually create this incredible Rooted & Wild community. None of it would exist without that decision I made seven years ago. None of it.
One of the biggest things I've learned is that healing isn't just about removing something. It's about creating the life that comes next. I think this is the part sober people struggle with the most!
For today's Watched & Rooted Wednesday, I found a podcast that feels especially fitting. If you're curious about the connection between nutrition, cravings, brain health, and alcohol-free living, I think you'll really enjoy it.
๐ง No More Booze with Dr. Brooke Scheller:
Whether you're alcohol-free, sober curious, supporting someone you love, or simply interested in how food affects the brain, I hope it gives you something to think about.
Here's to healing, second chances, and showing up for the people who matter most. THANK YOU for letting me share this milestone with you. ๐
