Today I am one year clean. I was about to write “I can’t believe I made it!” but realized that actually, I can. I’ve worked really hard. And will continue to work even harder. So happy to have made it this far but it’s just the beginning. It gets easier! Love to you all!

I think the loneliness. During recovery I didn’t have many people who understood what it was like. I had lots of support from my family which I will never take for granted but neither of them have a history of addiction and so I couldn’t really talk to them about everything. For a long time, I thought about getting high every minute of every day and I had to deal with those feelings and fighting to stay sober on my own. I went to NA meetings but didn’t quite find my place there. Then I got a therapist who specialized in addiction and that changed a lot. But overall, my sobriety journey has been pretty lonely. I’ve been on my own. I remember when I talked to another recovering addict for the first time in months and he said “hey, I get it. I feel everything you feel” and it was such a relief I started crying. Having a support system, which I had, is important, but having a support system who gets it is probably equally important.

My emotional stability was for **** my first year, don’t get me wrong I felt pure bliss 90% of the time, but when things happened that were beyond my control I could really wear my support system out. I cherish alone/lonely times now because I really like to see myself now. That’s not all the time though, I still feel alone and down from time to time, even surrounded by people who understand. I know my Higher Power is taking care of me, but I still have to dig deep to find that faith.
