Media personality Janet Mbugua has talked about her sobriety journey that has lasted for close to two years now.
Speaking on her YouTube channel, Janet Mbugua asserted that she arrived at the decision to quit alcohol on her own volition.
She insisted that she was not forced by circumstances or anyone.
“It was something that I felt that it was the right decision for myself and it’s the kind of thing that I could go back to in a year or ten years or never.”
“I am not putting any pressure on myself,” added Janet Mbugua.
Teetotaler for life?
Janet Mbugua divulged that she might not be a teetotaler for life saying that she did not put any deadline on her journey.
“I did not put a deadline for myself because I did not want to put the weight of unreasonable expectations on my shoulders and crash if I didn’t live up to them,” she said.
She admitted to finding the sobriety journey hard but fulfilling.

“But what is really interesting is even when you make a decision like that, it can be hard so you choose your hard.”
“The life I have lived this far, I feel like I have made the decisions where I can compare what life was without that decision and with it,” she said.
“Saying that I do not drink is not a flex, it is just a reality that I had to choose for myself.
“It is my hard and sacrifice towards a certain goal and towards a certain type of a person that you want to be,” she said.
“Sometimes we desire things that come effortlessly to us. To those who have chosen to quit drinking, please refrain from pressuring them to take a drink.”
“You never know what they had to overcome to make that choice,” Janet said.
