Kenyan businesswoman Michelle Ntalami is celebrating one year of alcohol-free living.
Through a statement shared on her Instagram page, Ntalami reflected on her journey and the positive changes that have come with her decision to quit alcohol.
“Today I celebrate one year of sobriety! Imagine, family, one full year of zero alcohol! And that includes champagne and the ever-defended ‘harmless glass of wine,” she shared.
She recounted her experience a year ago when she first announced her 30-day milestone and faced skepticism from some.
“I recall last year when I first shared that I was celebrating my 30-day milestone, Some folks laughed and said 30 days is too short, and soon I’ll be back at it. Well, here we are, a full year!” Ntalami declared.

Why She quit alcohol
Ntalami noted that her decision to quit alcohol was not driven by addiction but by a desire to make positive changes in her life.
“While I was never addicted, it doesn’t take one to be addicted to let go of a bad habit. If anything, that’s the best time to quit, as you have more resolve to let go of it before you’re bound.”
Message of Encouragement and how to quit an addiction
She lastly reminded fans and the public of the good that comes with quitting alcohol, offering a glimpse of tips that they may need to follow for all those interested in quitting an addiction that they have found hard to drop.
“2% So about 3 months before that, I completely stopped going to clubs and clearing / giving out my stash. I began making some drastic positive changes in my life. The changes were hard, but I was determined to cut out anything and anyone who was not good for me.
This tells you that it does not take you to follow in a certain faith to quit bad habits, situations, or people. It is absolutely possible, by your own volition. This is my sincere encouragement to you, who is thinking of letting go of anything. God gave us our own willpower to make and stick to the right choices in life. YOU CAN DO IT.
Start by cutting out the negative influences that lead to your bad habit; the spaces and places, the people or person, the music, the supplier, etc. In time, you won’t have the desire to engage in that habit anymore. It is possible, I DID IT! /~ To my believers, in addition, PRAY IT AWAY.” Part of Mitchelle Ntalami’s statement read:
