Finding Sobriety Under the Summer Sun: Elizabeth Chance's Journey
“It's just like quitting eating certain foods because you realize after a while you can't eat gluten because it makes you feel uncomfortable, or you can't drink alcohol because it makes you different and it doesn't make you like yourself. What other people think, it doesn't matter, because at the end of the day you're by yourself putting your head on the pillow and you're by yourself in the morning when you look at the mirror and you say: I like myself today, instead of looking at the mirror going: oh my gosh, I have shame, I have remorse, I have bitterness, I feel like shit.”
