The journey I'm on

Tomorrow morning will match the longest I’ve been sober my entire adult life. 27 days. I can’t remember my abstinence before. It’s because I wasn’t committed to the journey. Every day was a struggle and I think I just wanted to show myself I could quit for more than a few days.
I’ve said it before, but this time is a life changing experience. Every fabric of my being is in this recovery. I quit my job not only because I hated it, but also so I could focus on the most important things in my life which are family, health, and more than anything, my recovery. Even if I relapsed (which I won’t), I’d look back on this as one of the best experiences of my life. I’m not proud of what I became, but I’m proud of what I’m starting to become and I couldn’t be happier about this journey. I accept the long road that’s ahead of me. I have a long ways to go to become healthy again, get back in shape, and take complete control of my life, but I’m here now and I’m ready for it all!

I love the attitude @alpine_1975! I feel the same way. Body, mind and soul, I’m in this. No relapses ever. It’s like something clicked in my brain once I finally said (well texted actually) to another person, “I’m an alcoholic.” Bam, I was done. Can’t ever go back and sometimes it sucks a LOT, but I feel stronger every day. Woo!
