Life changes…

I am 60 + days since I quit drinking. It was time for those that don’t know. I have since I was 13 off and on. My 20s it got bad. Then I had 2 kids. Settled down a lot. Long story short. Became a functioning alcoholic. I finally gave it up. Now so many things are changing. I want so much more out of life. Only thing I regret is not doing it sooner. I want to go back to school. (Im 36) I just figure I still have life to live right. Go back to school get a degree. Takes a few years and do something I love. I broke up with my boyfriend today. We have been together since October of 2020. He’s a good person. I just realize that we are wanting different things out of life. It’s okay. I guess the point of this post is to vent my thoughts/plans/actions. Get it out. Get feedback and any input. I feel strong on the alcohol free part. The losing the boyfriend. It does hurt and it is hard. I just know it’s not fair to either of us to keep putting my happiness on the back burner to keep the peace. I am excited to learn. Excited to grow. Ready to live. Meet new people. Be me, someone I never knew because I was too traumatized and scared. Take away my shell and defense mechanism and use my gifts. Just kinda needed to get that all off my chest thank you. :people_hugging: I know everyone has struggles out there don’t forget to make smart choices and it’s never too late…. Ever !

Thank you and yes I’m doing my best, it’s for me this time around ! I’m excited !

Yes :raised_hands:t2:!!! I’m so glad. I had done this before and tried to stay strong didn’t know how to control a lot of my feelings and emotions at that time. So I kept jumping back on the rollercoaster. Guess I just wasn’t ready to get off yet. I am now. With people like you who understand. This app has been a huge help as well. Just being able to vent express and get the support. Thankful grateful and even on the hard days . I’m able to get through them easier now. Just so damn excited :laughing: :muscle:t2::raised_hands:t2:🫶🏻 :people_hugging:

Congratulations on your 60 days Kristi!! Such a wise and healthy choice!!! Sorry about the bf, but it happens for sure and life always has more in store for us. :heart: Good for you on going back to school…I did the same in my late 30s and finished my 2 degrees 10 years apart…it was a really great experience for me and a busy time for sure. It is definitely never too late and 30s are life just getting started from my perspective in my 60s now. :heart::people_hugging::heart: Very happy for you!! The struggle is so worth it…YOU are worth it!!
