Keeping Shit Real During My Road To Recovery

I lost my dad two years ago when he very unexpectedly passed away from “COVID” The lost for me was absolutely devastating because he wasn’t my biological dad but had raised me since I was 3. I believe that strengthened our bond and love because he didn’t HAVE to be there for me but he was , in every way shape and form. This happened in August of 2021and I have drank EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE THEN … if I did break it was for 2-3 days max . Working from home don’t make things better but more convenient.The bags under my eyes, my weight loss, my overall look has changed in my opinion and 3 days ago I decided to give this shit up ! I’m over it and I’m tired of letting it have power over my life !!! How does this alcohol that can’t speak to me , hear me , console me , love me !! Be the answer ?? It’s not , I’m ready to live my life again by all means necessary. Peace and Blessings

Welcome @Beautifully_Broken to an amazing, supportive, sober community. Congrats on your 3 days! Im so sorry for your loss. The hardest part of sobriety besides getting thru cravings is learning to process all those repressed emotions. Be kind to yourself.

You deserve a happy, addiction free life!

Im over it too. As of today. Its gonna be hard. Ive never decided to have nothing to get me faded. Now is that time. I wanna be around for a long time and feel good about it. Only got one life. You got this. Keep up with people for accountability and always be transparent and share. You could help change someone elses life too.
