Flying home sober.

When I first started my sober journey 1026 days ago I use to think. “There’s no way I can fly sober.” Just no fucking way!! I wasn’t planning on going anywhere back then, but I kept thinking about it. For me to see family I usually have to fly. Flying use to be my wet bar. And that’s when I decided.
I’m not drinking today.
And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow

That phrase helped me to get where I am now.

I’m more calm.
I don’t have to rush to get to the airport bar.
I don’t have to keep waving down the flight attendant for another double.
I don’t have to think about if I can drive the rental or not. No crushing hangovers or headaches at 3 am in the shower in some hotel.
It’s sooooo worth it.
All those ODAATs paid off big time for me.
Im soooo worth it.
And so are you :hugs:
:pray::heart:
I’m pretty fucking proud of myself too!!

Found i guess an accidental selfie? Must have been on the phone mindlessly fidling with my phone…

I do like how my scars a visible though, my 3 stripes remind me to just keep going, and the ones in my brow are various reminders not to go back to the way i was

I work at a iron ore mine. The schedule sucks and it’s dirty but the compensation is great.
