My childhood friend sent me this pic today of me and her at her 21st Birthday. (I cut her out)I actually had to ask her how old we were there. I have so many black holes in my memory from those days. Like a lot of young adults in Australia I drank a lot. I never drank everyday but when I did drink I never stopped at just 1.
Binge drinking is so culturally accepted in Australia that nobody says to you “hey! you’re drinking too much,” because the chances are, they are as well.
The first thing I noticed when I saw this picture was the wine glass in my hand, I’m surprised there wasn’t a cigarette also, as I was a chain smoker in those days.
Alcohol is a funny thing, you think you’re in control and then eventually it creeps right up on you and then you’re not.
I can see the inflammation on my face then, but not just that I can see the sadness and deep pain in my eyes, always trying to escape from my reality. It took me until age 29 (4 weeks before my 30th Birthday) to draw a line in the sand and say no more! I chose sobriety for life.
For the last 12 years I have been working on myself, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have been called obsessed, manic, crazy, insane, intense, weird, a tree hugger, hippie and told I have lost the plot. But those people have no idea just how friggin hard I’ve fought and worked day in and day out to get where I am today.
My health is so important to me, I know what it feels like to hit rock bottom and feel extremely unhealthy and I never want to feel like that again. I know that people think I’m “strange” when they meet me for the lifestyle I lead, but to be honest with you I feel younger today then I did at 21.
For me health isn’t just about what I eat, it’s how I think and how I live. It took years to let go of past hurts, resentments and far too much unresolved anger, learning to love and truly accept myself and finding peace within.
For so many years I’d say “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I always feel empty?” At age 41 I can finally say I’m fulfilled, I have purpose and I’m genuinely happy.
I receive so many messages from people asking me “how can I change my life?” My greatest advice to anybody is to make a concrete decision that you’re not going to stay where you are....once you do this, slowly but surely your life will evolve.
Today I’m living overseas living a life true to me.
Eat Right 🍉 Think Right 🤔 Live Right 💃
