I’m celebrating purim for the first time since I stopped drinking. It’s a holiday that traditionally involves a lot of drinking, and I’ve been missing out on it because I couldn’t be around that much alcohol without relapsing. I’m going to a purim-themed shabbat dinner the day before the actual holiday and I feel so so accomplished. This is my second favorite holiday and I’ve missed being with my community during it more than i can express. I really cant believe that im at the point where i feel stable enough in my recovery to do this but it feels amazing and ive cried a lot about it honestly
