I started sleeping better, I was handling stressful situations better, my relationship was better, my relationship with my family was better.

我的睡眠開始變好了，我能夠更好地應對壓力，我的人際關係變好了，我和家人的關係也變好了。

You just have to be bold enough to take that step to try it and once you get across the line you're like, wow.

你必須有足夠的勇氣邁出這一步，去嘗試它，一旦你跨過了這道坎，你就會覺得，哇。

I used to remember going to parties in LA when I, because at the beginning, you know, as a young kid you try to fit into the LA world and now that I've grown up a little bit and I know that it isn't my place to be, I don't try as hard to go out to the LA parties and mix with celebrities that I don't know.

我還記得我去洛杉磯參加派對的時候，因為一開始，你知道，作為一個年輕的孩子，你會努力融入洛杉磯的世界，而現在我長大了一點，我知道那裡不是我該去的地方，我不會再像以前那樣努力去參加洛杉磯的派對，和我不認識的名人混在一起了。

And I think mental health, you know, I took a break from social media once and felt the need to kind of announce it because I didn't want to, I didn't want people to worry that, you know, I had disappeared or something, I don't know.

我覺得心理健康，你知道的，我有一次從社交媒體上休息了一段時間，覺得有必要宣佈一下，因為我不想，我不想讓人們擔心，你知道的，我已經消失了什麼的，我不知道。

And that also was met with a negative reaction of like, oh you can't hack it, like you can't handle social media.

這也遭到了負面的反應，比如，哦，你不能黑它，就像你不能處理社交媒體一樣。

I just think that sometimes it's important to look up and engage with what's around you and and I find for me with social media I can easily sit on the couch for four hours and scroll and I haven't had Instagram on my phone.

我只是覺得，有時候抬頭看看周圍的事物是很重要的，我發現對於我來說，社交媒體很容易讓我在沙發上一坐就是四個小時，而且我的手機上還沒有 Instagram。

I'll download it to post something or download it if a friend of mine's post something and I want to like it for them but 99% of the time I don't have it on my phone and my life is so much better for not being completely glued to this felt false world that we have on our phones.

我會下載它來發布一些東西，或者如果我的朋友發佈了一些東西，我想為他們點贊，我也會下載它，但 99% 的時間我的手機上都沒有它，我的生活因為沒有完全沉浸在我們手機上這個虛假的世界裡而變得更加美好。

But it's a shame and I really hope it changes because I think self-preservation is so important.

但這是一種恥辱，我真的希望它能有所改變，因為我認為自我保護非常重要。

I think it's really disappointing that a young person in my decision who's lucky enough to have the power to say I'm going to take some time off for myself gets painted as, you know, something negative.

我認為，在我的決定中，有幸有能力說 "我要為自己請一段時間假 "的年輕人被描繪成，你知道，消極的東西，這真的令人失望。

I think we all work too hard and we should put our lives first.

我認為我們都工作得太辛苦了，我們應該把生活放在第一位。

I've always lived by the idea that I work to live, I don't live to work and I think that it's really unfortunate that that's what people took from the idea of me taking a break.

我一直認為，我是為了生活而工作，而不是為了工作而生活，我認為人們從我休息的想法中得出這樣的結論真的很不幸。

You know, pressure is only natural and pressure is a privilege to a certain degree but sometimes too much pressure is too much pressure.

要知道，壓力是人之常情，壓力在某種程度上也是一種特權，但有時壓力過大也是壓力過大。

Only a fool would say to you you should work until you crack because if you crack it's going to take you longer to get back to full fitness and work at your top capacity.

只有傻瓜才會對你說，你應該工作到崩潰為止，因為如果你崩潰了，你就需要更長的時間才能恢復到完全健康的狀態，並以最佳狀態工作。

So for me like taking these strategic little breaks where you can rest and recoup and come back your best self is really important and something that should be heralded rather than chastised.

是以，對我來說，利用這些戰略性的小休息時間，讓你休息和恢復，重新做回最好的自己，真的很重要，這一點應該受到讚揚，而不是責備。

I didn't decide to put the booze in the rear view to begin with.

我一開始並沒有決定把酒放在後視鏡裡。

I just decided to do dry January and in doing dry January it really scared me because I had a really tough time.

我剛決定幹一月，在幹一月的時候，我真的很害怕，因為我度過了一段非常艱難的時期。

I couldn't quite wrap my head around how much I was struggling without booze in that first month and it really scared me so I decided as a sort of punishment to myself that I would do February as well as January and I would do two months.

在第一個月裡，我無法完全理解自己在沒有酒的情況下是如何掙扎的，這真的讓我感到害怕，所以我決定，作為對自己的一種懲罰，我將在二月份和一月份一樣，堅持兩個月。

The second month was no easier, if anything like it got a little bit harder.

第二個月也不輕鬆，甚至有點難熬。

So then again I was starting to kind of panic thinking damn like I have a bit of an alcohol thing.

於是我又開始有點恐慌，心想該死的，我好像有點酗酒。

I'd had a you know quite an upsetting conversation with a doctor about my liver a year earlier and as a young kid I ignored the doctor as we all do and I started to think like oh wow maybe I have a bit of an issue here so then I started to go I'll do March and I got through March and started to feel a little bit better but was still really struggling so I said to myself if I can make it to June 1st which is my birthday and I can do six months without booze I will have then proved to myself that I don't have a problem.

一年前，我和醫生就我的肝臟問題進行了一次令人不快的談話，作為一個年輕的孩子，我忽視了醫生，就像我們都做的那樣，我開始想，哦，哇，也許我這裡有點問題，於是我開始想，我三月份再喝吧，我熬過了三月份，開始感覺好一點了，但仍然非常掙扎，所以我對自己說，如果我能熬到 6 月 1 日，也就是我的生日，我能做到六個月不喝酒，我就向自己證明，我沒有問題。

I'm just young and enjoying a drink and then by the time I'd done six months sober I really started feeling the benefits.

我只是年輕時喜歡喝酒，當我戒酒六個月後，我才真正開始感受到戒酒的好處。

I started sleeping better, I was handling stressful situations better, my relationship was better, my relationship with my family was better, my relationship with my work was better and I just sort of said to myself let's do a year.

我的睡眠開始變好了，我能夠更好地應對壓力，我的人際關係變好了，我與家人的關係變好了，我與工作的關係變好了。

Let's get through the first year and then that will be a wonderful achievement and then by the time I'd crossed that annual mark I was done.

讓我們熬過第一年吧，那將是一項了不起的成就。

I was like I'm never gonna drink again because this is the best version of myself and when I realised that alcohol wasn't masking my insecurity or bringing out my best self it was actually doing the opposite.

我當時想，我再也不喝酒了，因為這才是最好的自己。當我意識到，酒精並沒有掩蓋我的不安全感，也沒有讓我展現出最好的自己時，我才意識到，酒精的作用恰恰相反。

I then started to feel this freedom of like oh I can just be myself and I have nothing to be insecure about.

然後，我開始感受到這種自由，就像我可以做我自己，沒有什麼好不自信的。

People think a life of sobriety is sacrificing the fun but it really isn't.

人們認為清醒的生活就是犧牲樂趣，其實不然。

You just have to be bold enough to like take that step to try it and once you get across the line you're like wow. you

你必須要有足夠的勇氣，邁出那一步去嘗試，一旦你跨過了這道坎，你就會覺得哇。
