Today is 16 months. I’m currently reading The Catcher in the Rye, and this snippet resonates with where I was 487 days ago: “I think that one of these days,” he said, “you’re going to have to find out where you want to go. And then you’ve got to start going there. But immediately. You can’t afford to lose a minute. Not you.”
…I’m grateful for safety, determination, and life.

Thanks for sharing! I wish I would have read that a long time ago. Wasted a lot of emotional energy early in recovery waiting for the day I’d be “normal” rather than appreciating that the day was better than the previous one.

I hope something happens to me in the next 7 months of sobriety to where I would voluntarily read the catcher in the rye😅.
So proud of you and all of us doing the deal you're an inspiration!
