5 Years Sober – How My Life Changed When I Stopped Drinking

By Rachel Pedersen

Tomorrow I’m attending my cousin’s funeral.

I’m gonna be a mess this weekend.

He was 32 years old.

He hadn’t met his “great love”, heard his children’s laughter, traveled the world… There is so much unlived life. Experiences he will never know.

Here’s the crazy thing…

We started drinking (overdrinking) alcohol around the same time. We even drank together – underage – which I don’t condone.

However, 5 years ago around the time that I went sober, his alcohol use became a serious addiction.

It overtook his entire life.

Ultimately it took his life.

On May 21st, 2020, I felt compelled to share my story of sobriety on YouTube. I felt like one person needed to hear it.

It turns out more than 1 person needed to hear it.

I bet you have a story that someone else needs to hear…

Maybe you’ve been through trauma… Maybe you’ve been through some serious ish in life…

Your story matters – and it’s why I believe you need a platform – to help those who need your message most.

Here’s the video I created about my journey as an alcoholic – and the update on sobriety: https://youtu.be/0M4wtthbaWc 

I love you all.
