I hope y’all don’t mind me sharing so much on here! I’ve kept my sober journey off of my main socials, mainly because I don’t want people having access to details related to my health. But I’m just really working on being proud of myself. The picture on the right was taken about a year ago. I was taking care of my mom, and recovering from a severe trauma. I was drinking from the moment I woke up, I’d start the day with three-four shots of vodka with a splash or cranberry. I steadily drank throughout the day, drinking just enough to where I was somewhat sedated & could still help my mom to the bathroom, etc. I’d chug another three-four shots before trying to sleep, and then repeat it all the next day. That went on for about two months straight. Now, I’m 39 days sober. Wowza.
I am so proud of you !!! I know we don’t know each other but your post is the first I seen! God works in ways we never expect!!! I just want you to know if nobody else has told you , “YOU ARE A MIRACLE!!” You are amazing, YOU ARE SOMEBODY!!! Much love and respect !! - another alcoholic/ addict
That’s good keep it up. I know it’s not easy to watch over a love one when you want to live your life. What your doing is brave.I’m glad your sober cause a sick person cannot watch after sick love one not for to long. Good job!!!
Amazing Rachel!!!! You’re an inspiration!! I was also caring for my mom and eventually lost myself during it..I was in survival mode and that meant not taking care of myself at allllll!! I gained a lot of weight over the past few years but I know it’ll come off! I have no regrets that I cared for her & ultimately lost her in a traumatic way due to overdosing on Fentanyl that her and my brother were using together. Everyone told me to give up and start caring about myself but I couldn’t leave my Mom. She was “sick” and not the person that raised me into the person I am today. I might have lost myself during that time and am still grieving to this day BUT I KNOW deep down in my heart that I never would have been able to live with myself if I didn’t care for her until her final days. Now I have her as my guardian Angel and can finally allow myself to take care of Andrea again!! Lost some friends and family in the process but praying they will come back around when I’m better for a while.
Amazing Rachel! Very inspirational! Keep up the great work!
Wowza is right. Wow, you’re a new you for sure. Congratulations. Keep that new you going.
Amazing!!!!! So proud of you! Keep it up!

So happy for you! My drinking habits sound pretty similar to what yours were. I’ve noticed that I’ve been loosing weight and just feel more present. Keep it up! 
You can never share too much inspiration! It helps me stay on track! You look so alive now!!
Thank you all for your kind words. I can’t even tell you how much it means to me. I’m proud of every single one of you, and am so grateful to have such an incredible sober family.
Great job Rachel. I love hearing good news
