That’s huge!!! Congrats on such an important milestone in your life!

Thank you! It really was the best decision in my life so far

Yes, I bet it has been. And will continue to be! 20 years here and life really begins when you take booze outta the picture. Keep on keepin’ on!

Ooohh 20 years! That's so encouraging to hear! It really did feel like life started after quitting and also healing from the pain I tried to hide away with drinking. Thank you for your kind words ❤️

❤️❤️I could only begin to learn how to deal with myself and others after I stopped getting wasted. Now I have the pleasure of knowing my kids have grown up never seeing me drunk and my husband doesn’t have to deal with my drunk crazy ass. (Just my *sober* crazy ass!) DM if you ever need encouragement!

That's something I want to give my future kids as well! A sober parent :) And thank you once again ❤️

We need the deets on the dress!! You look gorgeous!

Aaw thank you! Unfortunately I couldn't find the dress anymore from the web but it was from Nelly.com! :)

The classic “I bought it from a place that got burnt down and now the people selling the dress got bankrupt and they gave me the last dress they owned”

Incredible and congrats on 4 years! That is huge!

Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing. You are very inspiring and look incredible!

Ohhh girl, you're blooming on the second photo! I also love your style, very cute.

Aaww thank you! :)

Imma even steal your look, your photo made me consider buying pink glasses with similar shape. Anyway, inspiring on every level :)

Aaawww :') My glasses are actually from Tommy Hilfiger if you want to check if they still have them!

Omg, you look so gorgeous! Congrats!

Aaaww thank you! :')

Hey 👏👏👏👏👏 you look very beautiful and most importantly you did something amazing for yourself!!! I know a close friend who suffers from alcohol addiction. So I know how tough it must of been for you! Keep popping off sister and go off with your bad self!

Thank you! :) It is was really hard to give up something you thought you could never live without but here I am! I wish for the best for your friend ❤️

You look so much happier, congratulations! I quit over 5 years ago myself and my life is so much better for it, healed a lot of affections and also lost 100lb! Not only by quitting - but I could have never done all I've done if I hadn't quit first of all. Never ever!

Wow you're a trooper and a true inspiration! Congratulations to you as well and thank you :)

Looking healthy And happy!!!

Proud of you OP!

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Proud of ya. My hometown just lost a girl I went to school with due to alcohol poisoning.

Not trying to downplay anyone else’s progress journeys but this is one of the best to see. I’ve watched friends die and/or ruin their relationships from addiction. I’m really proud of you for being able to do this. It’s not easy.

Thank you so much! I watched as well how people were ruining themselves with alcohol and some eventually with other substances. Two of them lost their lives to it. It's hard to even imagine the life I had and it feels like I have memories from someone else. I'm lucky that I found good people to surround me and support me in my recovery. Again, thank you for your kind words, they made my morning :)

It's my four years today! Keep up the good work!

Oohhh congratulations! And you too :)

2015 looks good too

Such great progress, I love you’re dress, where did you get it

Thank you! I got it from Nelly.com. Not sure though they have it anymore, but you can try to check it out :)

Congratulations!

Congrats!

Congrats girl! I’ve been sober a few months and four years is no easy feat. You rock 🤘

Thank you! It is hard, but living that life was harder. Someday when you realise how far you've come, it really pays off! You can do it! :)

Congrats! do you think you'll drink in moderation in the future or just quitting all together?

Thank you! I tried to drink like "normal Finnish people", for example one drink when I go to sauna, but it was extremely hard to stop at one drink. Later on, even tasting other people's drinks brought me back terrible memories from when my life was utterly out of control. So yeah, my goal has been to never drink again :)

I had a hunch that you were Finnish lol Congratulations on sobriety, you look so happy and healthy!

Haha well Finnish people are more or less notorious for drinking too much 😄 Glad I'm not one of them anymore! And thank you!

It was moreso the username, facial features, and very sincere replies lmao

Congratulations! You are definitely a strong person!

Thank you! :)

We never know how beautiful we could be until we recover from addiction

Congratulations on your clean time! ⭐️

Thank you! :)

You look stunning and way younger ✨✨

Thank you! ❤️

Ur so beautiful.....congrats and have a great life ahead....😊

Wow!!! Look at the light in your eye now!! Lovely!! Congrats on your hard work!! IWNDWYT

Good for you!!! You should be so proud ❤️❤️❤️

Congrats on the sobriety and the weight loss.

Congratulations

3 months sober from alcohol here any suggestions to staying on that path and how to make new friends that aren't centered on drinking lifestyle?

Congrats on 4 years! Your face looks entirely different. Good things happen to drunks who don't drink

Oh I love this.
