Vee’s Inspiration July 3, 2024
I promised myself I would not tell this story until 1 year had passed…
On July 3, 2023, we had a cookout/pool party at the house. We had 35-40 people. I had not had anything to drink at that point but was planning on having something to drink. The specific details aren't important now, but what is important to note is that I lost my cool and said some harsh words to someone who did not deserve that treatment. Even though I apologized, it left its mark on both of us. The next day I reflected on the incident and wondered how bad could it have gotten if I had a few drinks in me.
I have not touched an alcoholic drink since then. But things happen the way God would have them happen. That incident was the beginning of this mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical journey I've been on. It became evident I had to refocus on Vecus. One year later I am much more grounded. I’m more healthy mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. And best of all, I’m more at peace with myself.
I thought it important to share because many people have asked me why I stopped drinking alcohol.
God is good.
