My highlight of this week took place on Friday, while in Entebbe.
I was at work with “UAPA” and we were at a workshop with Members of Parliament, to do with regulation measures against alcohol harm in Uganda.
This is where I met Joselyn, someone I know from earlier days at Faces Up Uganda.
As we were at the tea-break,
She called me to where she was sited and said something to me, that just made my day so much better than it was.
Here goes….
Back then, I used to tell Joselyn about living sober and alcohol-free.
She tells me that she found what I was telling her, to be crap!
That didn’t discourage me from telling her about this way of living.
Currently, I am 9 years alcohol-free and if the math is right,
I must have been 6 years sober at that time, when Joselyn decided to give a sober life, a try.
Guess what? She must have liked living this way because she hasn’t looked back since!
Furthermore, she said that a lot has happened since and wouldn’t want to live her life that way again.
I want you to take a moment to process all this, like I did.
If you had asked me that time, if I could inspire Joselyn to change her lifestyle,
I would have laughed at you, so hard!
She isn’t alone in this; so many people feel they can’t live their lives alcohol-free, which isn’t true at all!
Am I glad I said those words to Joselyn?
Absolutely yes, I am!
Am I delighted about my actions?
Yes, I am.
Given the chance to convince you to live an alcohol-free life, would I take it?
Without a doubt.
We can even start now if you like!
