Day 31 - Developing the courage to speak

Over the course of a long drinking history, a lot of slowly lost the ability to speak up for ourselves.

We lost our agency and continued to slip deeper into the alcohol abyss to drown out the feelings.

When we begin living a life of sobriety, it takes time to find our voice. Sometimes we have strong convictions but are afraid to share them because they are not in sync with the popular ideas of the time, and we want to be accepted by our peers. But as soon as one person is willing to speak up against the groupthink, others become empowered to speak their truth as well.

One person’s courage has the potential to liberate countless others. How can you speak up today?
