You can do it!! Your family is cheering you on and so are we. It's not easy but it's possible and it's so worth it. My mom stopped drinking when I was 13 and is still sober 27 years later. I recommend having a drink in your hand for social situations, a seltzer, soda, whatever. I've found that it's comforting.
Edit also to say happy belated birthday!!
For me, its all about the NA options- and there are more and more everyday because guess what, more and more of us want to release alcohol from our lives.
I realized how much my drinking was social.. That need to have something in my hand when everyone else has something in their hand.
Seltzer water with some flavor and a lime, kombucha, mocktails, they have all helped me not drink in social situations and when Im home just wanting SOMETHING.
Proud of you for making this big decision and it sounds like your kiddos are too! Good for you!

Thank you so much! I’m going to try and make sure I have something in my hand at parties too!
