When I think back to who I used to be, the thought patterns I’ve had to rewire, the healthy habits I’ve built since, the way I can show up for things now that allow for a truly enjoyable life… I am beyond grateful for sobriety and all the darkness it took to get here. I couldn’t and wouldn’t trade it for anything. I don’t know that I’d be able to appreciate the beauty of life as much as I do now if I wasn’t walking down the path of death for so long. To all the heartbreaks and mental turmoil and bodily injuries and emotional chaos - thank you. Thank you for giving me perspective and the ability to connect with others, and through that, the potential to help and be of service to my fellow humans. At the end of the day, we’re all just out here doing our best.
