‘Two years sober! We drink to that! Just me with water and syrup,” Sarah begins her Instagram post. “It all sounds very boring, but it isn’t. Certainly not because I’ve seen the other side of alcohol and drugs. And I can tell you that if you’ve seen that, you’ll be very happy with a soda.’
And while Sarah knows life is full of surprises, she’s certainly proud of this achievement: “You never know what tomorrow will be like, but I’m super proud of myself for hitting the two-year mark. I feel great and I am learning every day. (…) I took that step two years ago and that has been my best decision ever. I’m just still doing my thing and my world just goes on. Also without alcohol and drugs.’

Sarah was addicted to cocaine and alcohol. The influencer and her father Rudolf van Soelen previously told in an interview with Story candid about the intense period that lies behind her. For her parents, their daughter’s addiction came as a total surprise. “Sarah’s mother and I really blamed ourselves for that,” said Rudolf. “It happened right under our noses. But it often happens, in cases like this. Then you’re family blind.”
