Life can be hard in sobriety and I've found the challenges keep coming in waves.
Life was also really hard when I was in the depths of my alcoholism. But it was always easier to numb that uncomfortable feeling with myself and not deal. The very things I was running from were always waiting for me and usually many times worse.
I've learned in sobriety to face my feelings and problems. I have found even though they are sometimes just as bad as my anxiety led me to beleive, I am not fragile. I will survive.
The devil may have passed a life sentence with my drinking and use but my higher power has seen it fit to reduce that to time served in sobriety.
I join you all today in sobriety and gratitude. We are destined for greater things and as long as we focus on doing the next right things hard days too shall pass.
Stay strong. I beleive in you and you're worth it.
