2 years ago I was a shell of a human. I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror, and when I did, I didn’t know who that person was anymore.
My addiction stole all of me and broke the people around me. All my morals and values gone, shame filled my heart. All I could think about was how to escape. I thought I was hopeless.
So today, just thanking God and everyone I have met along the way that guided me back to the truth. I’m alive and even when life is challlenging, nothing can ever take away the joy of getting another opportunity.
Thank you so much for reading it I feel very lucky to be able to share my story. It is comforting knowing we aren’t alone in this, and that our stories have the capability of helping another that is still suffering
Twinnie??
I almost didn’t recognize you
I love that smile. You go girl!! Recovery looks wonderful on you. I don’t know what’s going on in that head and body of yours. But with all that hard work in recovery you clean up well. So great to see you again. I feel like it’s been ages.
Very impressive my friend. Very impressive.
Crazy to see 4 digits sober fam!!! I’m feeling grateful, humbled, and excited!!! The journey I’m on has had its rough patches don’t get me wrong but the positives out weigh any bad day I’ve had! Sobriety use to look like a challenge but honestly I have a new outlook on life and it’s terrifying to even think about going back to how I was drinking. I find myself sometimes having my wife smell or taste my drinks when we go out to make sure there wasn’t a mix up some how! I truly love the clarity I have all day everyday and would much rather deal with my problems now instead of mask them with booze! Thank you to everyone on here who has shared there trials and tribulations it helps a person like me see that I’m not alone in this! Seeing all of you smile and seeing the numbers we gather as milestones to our new life is amazing! My baby boy never had to see the past me and will grow up with a sober and loving dada! My wife is the true angel in this though she dealt with 6 years of me completely annihilated for most of it somehow knowing I had the strength and purpose to be a better man! Have a great sober weekend to you all! Just take it one day at a time sober fam!!!
…hats off to you 
Congrats!
