For years, I walked alongside alcohol.
It was there in celebration, in sorrow, in silence.
It filled the gaps I didn’t know how to close, whispered comfort I mistook for connection.
But over time, I began to see that what I was drinking wasn’t just alcohol—it was avoidance, fear, and escape.
The End of a Familiar Road
The journey wasn’t sudden. It was a slow dawning.
Each morning-after grew heavier. Each excuse grew thinner.
I realized I was no longer choosing to drink—it was drinking me.
Eventually, I reached a place I now call the destination of that desire.
It wasn’t dramatic. It was clear. Quiet. Undeniable.
And that clarity sparked a truth within me:
I No Longer Need to Numb—I Need to Create
From this day forward, I choose to build something new.
Not a distillery of spirits that cloud the mind,
but a distillery of the soul—a space where I can process, reflect, and create.
In this distillery:
- The ingredients are honesty, courage, and intention.
- The process is slow, mindful, and patient.
- The product is a life with depth—not a drink, but a presence.
I feed my soul now.
With books, with movement, with meaningful conversation.
With solitude that strengthens rather than isolates.
With a vision for a life I don’t need to escape from.
Crafting Something Better
This isn’t just sobriety.
This is alchemy—turning pain into purpose, craving into creativity.
My old journey with alcohol is finished.
But my new path has only begun.
And maybe, just maybe,
what I’m distilling now can nourish more than just myself.
Well congratulations!
