I don’t count the days anymore, but I do notice when it is the 14th, as that was the day I got sober.
I couldn’t do a day at one point, so it blows my mind that I am now on 46 months, yet here we are.
Sobriety was excruciatingly difficult for me at the start, and elements of never numbing, still are, yet it’s incredible how we grow on this journey of coming home to ourselves.
As I will always say, sobriety is the greatest gift I have EVER given myself - the gift of getting to know myself, and being at peace with myself. It never gets old.
All of those years of stopping and starting (15 to be precise), were worth it, to get to the place I’m now at.
Absolutely messy still in parts and definitely not perfect, but real and raw and full of love, adventure and belly laughter. That’s all I really need.
I’m celebrating anyone who is considering this, or attempting this, or doing this. It’s not for the faint hearted but it is absolutely worth it.
Keep going 💖
