June 21,2024, marked 2 years since I've been physically dependent on alcohol. Some people may not get it, but it means the world to me. I made a deal with God that following day, and I've kept it. Thine will not mine be done. Amen amen amen.

Congratulations on two years.
The struggle is real.
Mental health and mental illness can lead to self medicating if not treated properly; psychiatry and counseling have helped.
Please don’t be so hard on yourself. You have come so far and have so many tools.
Peace,

Thank you so much. My mental health is basically number 2 on my list next to God. A lot of people don't understand me putting it before sobriety but I suffer from very severe mental illness and that is what leads me to drinking. Drinking was a symptom of my severe mental illness, so happy to be where I'm at today!

Hello Traci. That’s the best Decided you made in your life. I have to say it was mine. But just like you I have anxiety and depression. I see a therapist and psychiatrist. He prescribed me several medications and they are all wicked but I have to keep my composure. Sleeping is probably the worst because I only sleep between 2-4 hours a night. I hope all goes well with you. Stay strong and sob

Way to go. Once you reach your hand out for help a little farther than half way God reaches out grabs you and pulls you over. Most people can’t get past that point of wanting sobriety a little more than being a drunk. God know your heart and when he feels you are ready to surrender…..
Such a big moment for me at least. Great job!

Love you my sweetheart. We know it's never going to be east but it gets more manageable and we learn the tools we need to deal with this unpredictable, insane, surprisingly beautiful (because of people like you) life.
Oh yes girl! On my knees! Thank you so much! Proud of you too!
Hi Paul! I have bipolar disorder and suffer from psychosis with severe dissociative visual and tactile hallucinations, along with severe anxiety, and many other things. I HAVE to be on meds and yes the side effects suck. And trust me I get it the sleep is the worst part. But If I wasn't on the meds I'd be living in my worst nightmare and talk about life being unmanageable so it's all about acceptance.I hope you're doing ok!. Sending you prayers and blessings and lots of love 
Thank you. My relationship with God is EVERYTHING
