Businesswoman Michelle Ntalami on September 5 opened up about her 30-day alcohol-free journey, shedding light on the transformative changes she has experienced during this time.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Ntalami begins by expressing her gratitude to God for guiding her to this point in her life, setting the tone for a narrative of self-discovery and positive change.
While emphasising that her decision to abstain from alcohol was not driven by addiction, Michelle shed light on her realization that alcohol was no longer serving her.
She noted that the social environments where she would consume alcohol often left her feeling empty and drained rather than happy and fulfilled. This realization prompted her to make space for better things in her life.
"For one, the places, spaces, and people I'd take it [alcohol] with would most times leave me feeling more empty and drained than happy and fulfilled, especially and ironically, during the tough times of my life. I needed to make space for better things," Ntalami explained.
