One year sober 🎉
This time last year I was the most miserable I had ever been. This time last year I was lying to myself more than ever. This time last year I was trying to control and force everything in my life to work.
I woke up one day and realized I hadn’t accomplished any of the things I had dreamt about in over ten years. I woke up and realized how unhappy and exhausted I was, how disappointed in myself and my life I had become, and how I was drinking and using to cover up all that anger, sadness and guilt. I honestly didn’t want to be on this earth anymore, and I knew I had to make serious changes.
One year later; two new jobs, school on the way this fall, and a completely different attitude and outlook about life has lead me to finally feel comfortable in my own skin and happy with who I am and where I’m going. I’ve got a lot more work to do but I no longer want to escape it. I’m excited about the personal, educational, and spiritual growth and work I have ahead of me. I’m excited about life and that I get to live it. I no longer feel like I’m just waiting for the conditions to be right, then I’ll be happy. I’m happy, I’m joyful, I’m free. ❤️🙏🪽
Life on life’s terms. One day at a time.
