Discussing her experience in a viral video titled “My Dry January Experience,” she explained exactly how she came to the conclusion that taking a month off from alcohol could benefit her.
At the beginning of the clip, she showed herself before giving up alcohol.
“Y'all, this is me on this day, six years ago. This is also the last day I ever drink alcohol,” she said.
She explained that she drank half a beer that day and then walked out of the bar with the intention of only giving up the booze for 30 days.
“And those thirty days turned into sixty days, then ninety days, and six months, and six years later, here I am.
“And I'm so proud of that girl who was brave enough to make the decision to break up with alcohol even though all my friendships and socializations revolved around me being a weekend warrior and it revolved around drinking,” she said she.
After getting sober, Amanda said she has never “felt happier” and “more comfortable in her own skin.”
The non-alcoholic coach added that she has never regretted her decision to leave booze behind and was supportive of viewers debating leaving alcohol behind.
In a viral clip, which has been viewed more than 236,000 times so far, she explained how switching to a sober lifestyle helped her make all her dreams come true.

According to experts, Dry January has a number of health benefits, including better sleep, clearer skin, weight loss and better liver health.
However, many experts note that people should not only avoid alcohol during the first month of the year, but limit their intake in the long term if they want to see real health benefits.
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and AlcoholismAdults who want to drink 'in moderation' should limit their intake to two drinks or less per day for men and one drink or less per day for women.
