How quitting alcohol overnight became my first initiation
Dec 05, 2025
This isn’t a story I ever thought I’d tell publicly.
But maybe it’s time.
For years, I drank almost every night.
I called it relaxing.
Unwinding.
Being social.
Taking the edge off.
But deep down I knew the truth:
I was playing with the same beast that killed my father.
He died alone in a seedy rented room in Jacksonville, Florida —
a man drowning in shame and escape.
I told myself I’d never end up like him.
I vowed it.
Over and over.
Half-asleep promises that never stuck.
Until the night they did.
A routine weekend of binge drinking ended in a heated argument
entirely my fault.
I hurt people I cared about.
I blamed alcohol.
But the truth was simpler:
I had finally hit the rock bottom people talk about.
And then…
Something happened I still can’t explain logically.
I heard a voice —
my Soul Voice —
say:
“We’re done. We’re not doing this anymore.”
Not dramatic.
Not angry.
Just final.
I questioned it.
Was it real?
Was I imagining it?
But the next morning…
everything was different.
I had a complete aversion to alcohol.
The smell made me nauseous.
My body rejected it like poison.
And I haven’t had a drink since.
Almost two years sober —
not by force,
not by willpower,
but by truth.
That night, I realized the Soul Voice wasn’t mystical fluff.
It was real.
It was wise.
And it was mine.
Little did I know… this was only the beginning.
