It’s been over a year since I’ve had a drink and almost 8 months completely sober. In the last month, I’ve wanted to drink more than I ever had in the previous 12. Family vacations, a job change, and stresses of life have left me wondering what a drink would do to relieve me. In truth, I know there’s nothing a drink will fix and that for me, to drink is to die. The difference between now and the first few weeks are the tools I have at my disposal and the network of support that help me and also challenge me. When I look back at the difficulties I’ve overcome to be where I stand today, I remember that the strength I hold today comes from the struggles I’ve endured. If you’re struggling today, working through it can only make you stronger.
