Grateful
When I started with Thrive, I’d been drinking most evenings for years — other than when I was expecting or doing a “Dry January” or “Sober October”. Ten months after starting, I’d completely broken out of that pattern. Now I drink only when I choose to. And I stop after one. This happened by taking Naltrexone an hour before drinking alcohol and — after a few months — by taking baby steps to break away from old habits. I never had to label myself, fit my life around doctors or meetings (though meetings work for many), or worry about “never drinking again” — fears that often keep people — including me — from seeking help, worrying they should be able to handle it alone or that they’ll lose a coping tool or become “boring". Thrive understands these concerns and offers a space free of shame, judgment, or pressure, gently meeting people exactly where they are. If you’re even considering making a change, Thrive is a place where you can do it without fear, without pressure, and without losing yourself. I know without question that I wouldn’t be here without TSM and the incredible Thrive community. It has required me to make a deep commitment, but like any worthwhile pursuit it has been worth it. I am grateful.
