Janet Mbugua is proud to be sober and is taking one step at a time to maintain the course in her sobriety journey.
The media personality opened up about her decision to be a teetotaller while speaking during an interview on her YouTube channel.
The mother of two said that she has been sober for close to two years now, noting that she does not regret the decision to cut out alcohol from her life.
Mbugua, however, noted she did not rule out going back to drinking in a year or two, stressing that she has not put any pressure on herself.
"I don't drink, I haven't had a drink… December this year will be two years since I had a drink. But on the offset, it is just something that I felt it was the right decision to make for myself and it is a kind of thing where I could go back to it tomorrow, or in a year or 10 years or never. I am not putting any pressure on myself," Janet Mbugua said.
She added that; "But do you know what is really interesting? Is even when you make a decision like that can be hard Like everything has a hard. Choose your hard."
The mother of two admitted that it was not an easy decision for her to quit drinking, noting that discipline was key in her steering clear of that tempting bottle of booze.
"The life I've lived this far I feel like I have made decisions where I can compare what was life with that decision and life without it. Because at the end of the day when you try to build discipline it is hard, it doesn't come naturally to us, to people. You want things that come easy to you," she said.
Janet Mbugua further advised people not to tempt those who are trying to quit drinking by offering them alcohol in small quantities.
She noted that folks trying to stop drinking liquor could be preventing themselves from slipping into alcoholism and other vices.
"By the way people who are not drinking, people who say they are sober or celibate or clean please stop asking them, there are some people who will ask somebody who has stopped drinking 'ah nini si you get one drink'. You never know what they are trying to do to stop themselves from spiralling. So let them be. It's not a flex, me sitting here saying 'I don't drink' it not a flex. It is just a reality that I have to choose for myself. That was my heart. It is a sacrifice towards a certain goal and towards a certain personality," she said.
