Today is the day when I celebrate being 4 years SOBER! This journey has been HARD, every day I must acknowledge my desire to drink and defeat it. I’ve shared with you all so much of my journey; stories about recovery, my family and my faith….all of which have kept me accountable and your comments and responses have lifted me up when I most needed it.
I thank you from the most precious place in my soul. Thank you for being that faceless entity who can give me the strength. For being a friend who has read, listened and engaged with me in this spot on the internet.
Today I cannot shake your hand or give you a hug to show my thanks but I can share my heart.
By God’s grace I’ll continue on this path with a sober mind, a strong body and a well secured faith. Now come along friends and let’s choose one of these 30 fantastic non-alcoholic drink recipes to toast with!

Thanks so much for these! I don’t drink either. It’s been 5 1/2 years for me, but I love a tasty mocktail!
I have not touched an alcoholic drink since my dad died in 1193…I don’t drink coffee, so now I am hooked on diet coke, even though I know the dangers of aspertame…thank you so much for the options you have given me to try
very proud of you , you are very strong women good for you
This is awesome, I don’t mind an alcoholic drink, but when I’m really thirsty I find they dry me out! I am pinning these for sure :) Thanks Julie.
