🔥 "Why don’t you drink?"
It’s a question I get every time I socialize.
Some people look at me with pity. Others give me a label like “abstinent,” as if it were a disease.In England, I’ve seen shocked expressions:"You don’t do anything harmful? But… you need something, right?"
❄️ But what if I don’t?
What if the last 10 years of my life have been about clearing out everything that doesn’t serve me — and replacing it with habits that actually nourish me?
☕ Instead of alcohol, I drink ceremonial cacao.Instead of coffee, I sip matcha tea.Instead of Fanta, I go for lemon water.I eat organic food instead of processed snacks.…And I sleep when I feel tired. Simple as that.
✨ I’m not saying everyone should do it this way.But I think it’s worth sharing something:Alcohol is the comfort zone.And as we all know — the magic happens outside of it.
✌️ Isn’t That… Boring?
Not to me. These days, drinking feels boring.
What excites me is balance.Self-awareness.Getting to know who I really am — without numbing or escaping.
🪽 I feel free in the world, not from running away from it.The quote that lives in my heart:
“The secret to happiness is freedom.The secret to freedom is courage.”– Pericles, Ancient Greece
♥️ I feel that even one drink would disturb the bliss I’ve created.And right now, it’s perfect.I don’t want highs followed by lows. I don’t want to constantly reassemble myself.
✨ Instead, I choose to ride the natural waves of life.
If I get hurt — I let it hurt.If I’m stressed — I notice it, and take action.I return to balance with:
Meditation
Yoga
Time in nature
Breathwork
Physical training
And loooooots of love 💛
✈️ How Did I Get Here?
It began in Tenerife.
When I first arrived, I looked for people to party with — or at least share a beach beer.But the volcanic energy of the island changes you.I fell in love with dancing wildly, sober, and full of love.
I realized:I’m naturally like this. I don’t need substances to let go.That discovery set me free.
It wasn’t alcohol that gave me freedom —It was gratitude, presence, and the deep knowing that we’re here for each other.
✨ I fell in love with real feelings.
Running naked into the ocean at midnight.Camping on the sand.Drying off by a fire with glowing cheeks and starry eyes.
We don’t need alcohol for euphoria.That makes these moments even more precious.
You don’t need a beach —just start living your dreams in everyday life, not just on weekends.
⚡ I Don’t Want to Be Intoxicated
I want to remember every sacred moment.Because life is beautiful — if we choose to create it that way.
🏃🏼♀️ I love waking up fresh on Saturdays and Sundays.I love having the energy to move, explore, and train — whenever I want.
🙏 This way, I stay connected to higher frequencies.To my energy, and the inner stillness that’s my greatest power in shaping the present moment.
🌿 I choose a higher quality of life.
I invest in organic, bio food — not in cigarettes, weed, or wine.(I’m not pretending I never did. In my twenties, I mixed health with indulgence too.)
But now, I’d rather travel, even for a short trip.Because the time, money, and energy I invest in myself?It comes back — like a boomerang. And yes, it hits me sober.
🚀 Maybe the Most Important Realization:
Since I don’t have a glass of wine or coffee to “boost” me,I need to design a life that excites me.
Joy that fills my chest — that’s my fuel.Making my inner child happy — that’s the secret.
Taking action, whatever it takes.Because a joyful child doesn’t need doping.
Since I’m clear, I hear my inner voice more clearly.It tells me what to do next to stay aligned with joy.
