Hello everyone, today I celebrate my one year anniversary of being sober from alcohol. Well it’s been a journey, I don’t want to sound generic with saying stuff like “I can’t believe how I was a year ago, that was a different me, i couldn’t imagine living life like i once did”, but basically all of the above is true. one year ago I was vomiting blood, decided to quit cold turkey, started experiencing DT’s, saw little people popping out of walls, at night time saw dog sized spiders attacking me (I’ve posted about my experience with DT’s in here) then I called an ambulance because I couldn’t take it anymore, and was in the psych ward for a week. And now one year later I’ve just gotten back from an AA meeting, celebrated with the people there and got my golden one year badge, then I went to the gym and after that grabbed a pizza, that’s my form of celebration nowadays instead of drinking 12 beers and passing out. During my drinking times such a feat seemed impossible, but it trully is possible, for me I had to hit rock bottom in order to start fixing my life, had to be kicked out, lose my driving license, lose my job. Now one year in I have my own place, got my license back, bought a decent car. I hope this can motivate some of you who are just starting this journey, every day that you are sober you are contributing to your well being and brighter future, giving up really isn’t worth it, before my one year sobriety I managed 4 months then relapsed, that relapsed helped me understand that I don’t want alcohol to be part of my life, it’s destroying me, there is no fun, only illusions that your sick mind creates, it’s a disease and i treat it such, other people who can drink in moderation don’t bother me, I just see them as those who are not affected by the disease, for me I can’t drink and won’t try to, every time that I’ve tried i just come back to the beginning, so there is no point.
Thank you for reading, and best of luck to everyone in this journey
