My same story with a bit of humor this time

So, picture this: I’m a 30-year faithless addict, cruising down the highway to he!! like I’m in a one-man parade—complete with confetti made of bad decisions! :tada: Every exit sign was just a reminder that I was on the express lane to disaster. “Hey, look! There’s ‘Regret Road’ and ‘Denial Drive’—oh, can’t forget ‘Shame Street’!” It was like a theme park for my poor life choices!

But then—plot twist! By the grace of God, I woke up one day and said, “You know what? I’m done being the star of my own tragic comedy.” So here I am, 15 days sober and climbing this stairway to heaven like it’s an escalator at a mall! :roller_coaster: Seriously, I’m practically doing the cha-cha up those steps!

And let me tell you, sobriety is like getting a VIP pass to life. Suddenly, I can taste food again! Who knew broccoli could be so… green? And my brain is like a computer that finally updated from Windows 95 to something that actually works! My thoughts are no longer buffering—unless it’s just me buffering in awkward social situations.

I mean, I’m not saying I’m perfect now—my laundry still looks like it’s auditioning for a reality show called “What Not to Wear.” But hey, at least now I’m not wearing my mistakes on my sleeve!

So here’s to 15 days and counting! :tada: Each day is like a new episode of “Survivor: The Real World,” and guess what? I’m winning immunity challenges left and right! If I can do this, you can too. Just remember: if you find yourself on that highway to he!!, you can always take the next exit and find your way back to the stairway to heaven. :rocket::sparkles:

I do a bit of writing from time to time. I've written speeches for politics in the past several times. I get carried away sometimes and it ends up being longer than I intended for it to be. I have found that my writings sometimes get the attention of others and when I receive comments back such as yours and the others, It helps me more than than you all know. Helping others is the best way for me to remain sober. I don't even think about getting high when I am helping others. So thank you kindly Sur for the nice comment. I appreciate you.

Congratulations!
A day at a time.
