Ashley McBryde recently revealed that she\u2019s been sober for over a year.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview, she said she kept quiet because she didn’t want to make a fuss about it, and then backslide.<\/p>\n
“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?'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
She’s well past the 450-day mark, and is feeling good because of what she’s learned about herself.<\/p>\n
“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.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In the past, she chose drinking over feeling.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
