“Look, I’ve been in and out of the [recovery meeting] rooms for 11 years, I don’t know how much time I have today, seven, eight months, I don’t really count anymore. I’ve spent most of the last 11 years in recovery, and it’s made me who I am, and yes, there’s been periods of my life in these last 11 years that are really dark, that have caused my wife a lot of pain, that have caused people that love me a lot of pain, a lot of worry, I’ve compromised my life and other people around me, I’ve done things that I’m not proud of, but I do have that foundational level of 10 years of recovery, and I’m fu***ng proud of that.” - Macklemore

Today I have 1 year of sobriety.

l was lost, I was hopeless and had no desire to live anymore, I drank everyday all day.Alcohol completely controlled my life and I was powerless. I had burned every bridge and had no friends or family who could stand me at the end of my active addiction. On the night of 8/17/2021 I knew I hit rock bottom and made the choice to checking to a medical detox facility. It was the best choice I ever made. During the last year I have given my life over to God, I have completely surrendered and accept that I have a disease. I have tools today to cope and handle my problem without alcohol. These days I’m apart of a fellowship that is loving and accepting. With a book and some steps I have managed to stay sober for 365 days and kick some alcoholism butt. Today I pray for the alcoholic still suffering, you are not alone and there is hope. You just have to want it. 🙏🏻
