Pooja Bhatt Completes 4 Years Of Being Sober And Shares A Heartfelt Post About Her Journey
Out of the long list of vices that I have, from occasionally lying to my parents to get my way, to binge drinking and binge watching crappy series on Netflix, if someone were to ask me to get rid of them, I’d probably overindulge in both, before I even consider taking their advice. Of course they would be right in suggesting I quit my bad habits, but when have bad habits been easy to get rid of? A journey that even though was too difficult and tempting to come back from, was taken upon by actress Pooja Bhatt, 4 years ago on 23rd December.
Vowing to never touch alcohol again, the actress turned filmmaker, Pooja Bhatt who was notoriously famous for her over indulgence in alcohol that started as young as when she was 16 years old, she has now completed four strong and successful years of abstinence.
It is people like her that inspire others to go through with their decisions and stick of them, especially if it means saving yourself. Pooja Bhatt on this day, shared this milestone with her social media following, as she shared a twitter post captioning it, “Four years sober today!Earlier it was pink champagne,malt & packed,city bars. Now it is pink skies & deserted,country roads.What an enriching,searing journey it has been.Gratitude to life & the divine force that has watched over me,kept me true,vulnerable,strong. #sobrietyrocks.”

The post had a picture of a beautiful pink sky, surrounded by serene greenery and it was almost as if we could vibe her relief, pride and happiness in sharing how she had spent the last 4 years of her life, gaining back the control she had previously lost. And that kind of self-fulfilment is quite unmatched to any joy in life.
Back in September, the actress had shared another post on Instagram where she wrote, “Three yrs & nine months sober today. One more quarter and I will be four. As someone who drank openly,I chose to recover openly.I truly felt it was important to share my journey to tell others,women especially, who might be struggling that they are not alone & if I could do it so could they. Was ridiculed by some but lauded for being courageous by most”.
We laud the woman for such self control and will to get her life back on track. We know how hard it can be to leave behind a habit so seductively dangerous, and the fact that she has managed to do it oh so gracefully, is proof that any one of us can too.
