Ashley McBryde Has Been Sober For Over A Year

Ashley McBryde recently revealed that she’s been sober for over a year.

In a recent interview, she said she kept quiet because she didn’t want to make a fuss about it, and then backslide.

“I didn’t want to talk to anybody about it, even lightly, until a year had passed because I was like, ‘What if I screw it up?'”

She’s well past the 450-day mark, and is feeling good because of what she’s learned about herself.

“When you find out the reasons you’re going so overboard all the time, is because of your inability to feel something. [Now] when I’m uncomfortable, I say out loud, ‘I know how to be uncomfortable. This conversation is hard.'”

In the past, she chose drinking over feeling.

“I was, like, ‘You have no idea how much I can drink. I can drink you under the table.’ What an awful thing to admit. You are so weak that you have to drink an entire bottle of . . . anything? Instead of just feel what you feel.”
