Authentic Self

Today I can be my authentic self. I thought getting sober was about not drinking or using. I now understand it’s much, much more. My mind was a maze of confusion and chaos. I used mind altering substances to make it stop. With the guidance of my sponsor and the steps I came to know my Creator and have another way. Through working the steps I have become comfortable in my own skin. I used to worry about what people thought and said. I walked through the mall a couple of days ago and was given compliments by strangers. It not what’s changed outside. It’s what’s changed inside. Day 1761. One day at a time. :peace_symbol::purple_heart::unicorn:

Great post Amy! Congrats on your quality sobriety!! I also realized that alcohol/drugs/ and all the other bad behaviors were just symptoms. Similarly, I have worked one of the 12 step programs with a sponsor, and have received results as you described. Let’s keep the focus on today, and continue to grow and learn ODAAT :pray::peace_symbol:❤‍🩹
