Because I Never left

A few weeks ago I thought I wanted to leave this community because I didn’t want the rest of my life to be about being sober.

I have lived through many disciplines, dedicating years of my life to varies activities most simultaneously:
6 years Army vet, 11 years competitive rugby, soccer since my youth, classical violinist since youth, singer(auditioned for the voice and American idol), was a diagnostic technician for 4 years, 5 years dedication to correcting my scoliosis and still going, been a vegetarian for 6 years, earned a degree in automotive technology, lived away from home accross the country for years, traveled accross the US, struggled with a wounded internal self that made addiction ok for me for 7 years.

Did all that to make it back home last year at 27. [28 has been a great year of growth and I’m looking forward to 29 coming up soon]

I enjoyed those things but Now my latest ambitions are fun and mischievous the way life is intended to be. Im an analyst pursuing my next degree in cybersecurity- living the most free life I’ve ever lived from the comforts of my home most of the time.

I don’t want another strict discipline, they’re unnecessary at this point in my life; however, I realized I’m still dedicated to keeping cocaine and liquor out of my life.

I am at peace knowing there is a certain way I don’t want to feel and that means keeping those two things away.

So I’m back because I never left :call_me_hand:t5:

Almost 7 months clean from those toxins

@Earth all I can say is “wow” and what an inspiration you are to others. With all that you’ve accomplished in life, this is your time to slow down! However, I have a feeling you won’t. LOL

P.S. thank you for your service.

Indeed. This has been one of the most awesome communities I’ve ever been apart of. We all come to learn, grow overcome. Even outside of sobriety those are things I do every present moment so it felt more like a pull to come back to what has always been so great. Including the good company :slight_smile:

Sending safe endeavors your way :wind_face:
