I know you are… but what am I?

Sobriety:

The day I walked into that building, I never would have imagined that that was the beginning and the end. It was like the Reaper I was fighting, finally stood up on its own; taking over as the final blow to my jugular bled out on the floor.

I was a naked, featherless duck who didn’t even know how to quack. And… that was the good part.

I was a baby who knew too much. Wise beyond measure yet somehow, someway the stinky liquid in that bottle was killing me.

Yeah, I get it. I can’t put in words quite like you do, but same here. It beat me down into submission. No matter how hard I tried, I failed every time. Each episode pushed me down further into the depths of despair. No hope. So much pain. Self hatred and humiliation running thru every vain. Then one day I just gave up. I gave everything. I opened my mind up to changing the way I think about everything. From there I found a new life. I never could’ve imagined I could finally walk away from my demons. I was given back the gift of choice that I had given away so many years ago. It’s so freeing let go of all of it
