I have been going through a lot. Bankruptcy, criminal charges, processing a lot of hard trauma and much more. If this was last year, I’d probably be drinking myself to death. Trying to numb my pain with opiates. But today is today. It’s different. I have somehow found the strength to stay sober through everything. And not self harm either. It feels so incredibly amazing. I prove to myself every day that I am capable of living a sober life. I have had some good friends who help me see that strength even when I don’t. I haven’t been 6 months sober since at least 2016. To be able to cope with very hard times AND stay sober. I just can’t believe it. I really did change my life. I got a second chance at life in Feb after trying to OD. That was the last day I used. And I told myself this time has to be different. And I have proven to myself that I really can do this for the long haul 🥹 It feels freeing!
