8 years of choosing me💜

8 Years Sober Today :heart_eyes::sparkles::purple_heart:

Eight years ago, I made a decision that saved my life—and gave me the chance to truly live it. To wholeheartedly love myself

Sobriety hasn’t just been about quitting something—it’s been about becoming someone. Over these 8 years, I’ve grown into a version of myself I never thought I’d meet. I’ve learned to face the hard things, to heal, to grow, and—maybe most importantly—to love myself.
I’ve found clarity, peace, purpose, and strength I never knew I had. Sobriety gave me the space to grow into the person I was always meant to be.

8 whole years of not picking up that first drink no matter what I was going through. I’ve gone through the ringer since I quit drinking. But you know what I am still here. Still sober and still celebrating everyday of my life😍

4 years after I quit drinking I quit smoking. It took me 4 whole years to finally quit for good, but here we are feeling better without that too. Lol

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me on this journey. I’m beyond grateful.
Here’s to 8 years of choosing growth, choosing love, and choosing me. :purple_heart:

This is how I see recovery too. A process of change and growth :seedling:
I have a pin on one of my bags that says: “Keep gowing, keep growing”
And that’s what the both of us do :smiling_face:
