Today my fiancé celebrates 2 whole years sober
I know that sometimes sobriety with a partner can be seen as risky—people worry about codependency or the chance of one person pulling the other down. And while that’s absolutely true for some, in my journey, going through this with my best friend has been nothing short of incredible.
We started out in a very young, playful, addiction-fueled relationship that eventually turned abusive and toxic. The people we were back then wouldn’t even recognize who we are now. Two years ago, we made a choice—we chose ourselves, we chose each other, and we chose sobriety.
It was the most beautiful decision of my life.
I’ve never felt so loved, supported, or understood. I’m endlessly proud of this man and everything he’s accomplished, and I’m deeply thankful for the way he stands by me in my own sobriety. It’s taken a lot of therapy, discipline, and reconnection, but out of that hard work grew something so full of love, respect, and joy.
Here’s to healing, growth, and choosing each other—every single day. Looking forward to my 2 years in about a week
