On a personal note, I am exhausted ✨
My husband and I spent this year helping our whole team put so much blood, sweat, and tears into making @lacunaphoenix a place where you can enjoy the community, and leave feeling better than when you arrived 💕
#RaiseTheVibe has never just been a neon sign on the wall to us, and we have always taken this so seriously.
Making the choice to walk away from something that isn't for you takes more grit than most things in life.
In my case, being sober means you don't numb yourself to the pain that growth brings. You don't assume the answers can be found in dissociation.
Being sober is being clear. It's living life courageously, intentionally, and recognizing that life is what you make it!
Being sober means I choose to nourish my organs and I find that process exhilarating in and of itself. And professionally, I like to ensure every menu and every drink special becomes more and more meaningful as time goes on.
I remember hearing that when you finally heal and stop running, you become tired and may want to hide in the middle of nowhere for a couple years to recoup, and that's okay 🥂
If you don't have a plot of land in a remote pocket of nature, enjoying delicious mocktails is probably your next best bet (and if you do live in the middle of nowhere like I do, you'll still need some botanical supplies, and that's why an online store is launching in 2024) 😉
I say this to remind you that if you're putting effort into making positive choices, THAT is always worthy of celebration 🎊
