Hey all.

I remember days when I was new here. Very unsure and a little bit scared. But knowing exactly what I want - stop drinking!

Today I am nice 7 months sober. With no struggles, but almost daily listening Recovery elevator podcast which helps me remember why i stopped drink alcohol.

It was my biggest fear that one day I will forget all bad what happened to me because of the alcohol. But now I know that some memories will never dissapear and I am glad for it. I also remember many moments, when I didn’t remember anyhing from the previous day/night.

Whatever memory from my last 16 years I have, it is always connected to alcohol. And that is crazy!

Now I am creating new life. Much better one. I am present and I love myself. I didn’t like the person who I became to be when I was drunk. It wasn’t me. I would never ever put myself through such hell which I walked for so long. How could I not see it?

People, I wish you all the best and mainly clear mind and ability to see how beautiful life really is when we don’t hide it behind the alcohol’s buzz.

🍀🍀🍀
