14 days clean today

14 days clean today. I truly feel like a different person. For so long, I wore a blanket of shame in every thought that I was an "alcoholic". I never wanted to be one of you and I was dead set on trying to figure out how to drink casually..
We all know the road trips out never get any better and as sad as it really is, I can't help but laugh when I think of the insanity to which I pursued my obsession. I'm happy to say today that I understand it....I'm not just saying I understand it, I really get it and for once in my life, I'm not running from it. I actually have 18 days clean of alcohol but I really didn't feel myself surrender and give up until 12-9-21. I literally felt so much pressure leave my body. I don't know if the suffering finally gave way or if I had that spiritual moment but I can tell you with no fear or shame that I AM one of you and without you, there is a great chance I wouldn't be here to express my gratitude. It's 100% one day at a time but today I have a reason to fight. I'm finding love in myself and everything around me again. All the things I've numbed away for so long are presenting themselves in new colorful ways. Thanks for sticking by my side, we ARE in this together!

Ahhhh, why the flag?

?? What flag

Your post was taken down. Can’t remember what it said tho

It is showing up as your post was flagged and it’s hidden. I’m with K. I didn’t see anything in your post that would be flagged. It should be required reading if you ask me.

Weird.. does that happen often? I'm pretty new here. Digging the app. Met some great and inspiring folks already.

Sometimes weird things happen and it’s a little irritating, but dude your post was so good. I don’t get it.

All good, appreciate that dude. I'm feeling like I'm on the right side of the fence this time around. :love_you_gesture:

It sure seems like it. I can’t find a flaw in your thinking. Of course I never completely trust my analysis of anything.:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes::grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
