"Hello, world! Celebrating two weeks of sobriety today!
The first week was a real challenge, especially during those usual hangouts with close friends, carrying along those terrifying withdrawal symptoms . Offers came my way, tempting me to reconsider. Thought, “Why not just go back to the old routine, chill out, and not worry so much?” Then came the lonely evenings , felt like the world had me beaten down, broke, and exhausted. And I craved that familiar escape, like a desperate need for a painkiller or a heal spell, in those lonely moments feeling worn out and frustrated, felt being isolated and lost in the crowd, going back again seemed like a quick fix, a momentary escape from self. Life tested me, pushing me to the edge. There were instances I almost gave in, thinking, ‘Just for today, one more last… a temporary relief…’
Yet, as I pen this, I reflect on the progress. After multiple failed past attempts this is the LONGEST I am holding on to. THAN EVER BEFORE! I’m holding strong because I know I am going RIGHT😐, head held high. One day at a time.
The journey continues, and I’m determined to keep moving forward. ."
Peace✨
