Ari Lennox has updated fans on her year-long sobriety journey, reflecting on her past self and the positive changes since adopting a new lifestyle.
Earlier this week, the Grammy nominee shared photos to her Instagram showcasing her ongoing transformation.
“You see, drinking was my ritual to combat my immense fear of flying,” she wrote before going into details about a near-death experience involving excessive drinking. “‘Just alcohol’ could’ve killed me. I had many guardian angels watching over me that day. Thank God there was nobody filming (I pray and hope [crying emoji, side-eye emoji]) it was pretty divine.”
She said: “I decided December 18th, 2022, would be the day I got clean. You know what I realized after 1 year of many sober flights? I never needed alcohol to get through the flight. I thought I needed alcohol to escape my reality and to cope. I needed an excuse to drink and not feel the pain of every day life and trauma. It was my numbing vacation to avoid my purpose and my truth.
“Thank you to my fans. I love it when yall share with me your sober dreams and fetes. It makes me so emotional. I’m so proud of you, and I love you all so much. We can do this.”
Congratulations Ari Lennox!
