Today marks my first year living an alcohol-free life, and I did something different to celebrate: I got purple highlights. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿฅณ

Quitting is the best thing Iโ€™ve ever done. Iโ€™m grateful for the folks who inspired me and shared their tips, including microblogger @terrygrier.

@jean awesome, fine work! Iโ€™m about a year in as well and through long periods of abstinence in the past I know well the rewards. This time I will be experiencing those rewards permanently, along with fine folks like yourself! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

@jean Good on you. I stopped temporarily decades ago when hanging out with someone in AA. Realised I was happy with that and haven't gone back to alcohol since (bar a very rare sip-this-to-taste-it sip). It's also so cool to explore non-alcohol drink choices.

@Miraz I have become a zero-proof cocktail artist this year. Iโ€™ll post a photo of my bar sometime. ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿน(emojis are naturally alcohol free, of course)

@Annie ๐Ÿค˜๐ŸŽธ ๐ŸŽ‰ One of those things I always thought I should try, never imagined Iโ€™d stick to it. Itโ€™s been eye-opening in many unexpected waysโ€ฆand eye-closing in the form of much better sleep. ๐Ÿ›Œ
