Year 3

Three - whole - years

3 years ago I was in front of a group of police officers at my home , belligerently drunk… hating my life.. so full of sadness.. giving up . Hating everyone around me . Lashing out at the world .

I knew that was the last time I was ever going to be high and drunk..

either my addiction was going to take my life or I was going to finally make a change..

I decided to make the change. Even though every single day is a battle sometimes it gets down to it being minute by minute I know that I am stronger than any addiction that I have ever been faced with.

when you’re really tired of being tired I think is when you find the strength to make the changes you need.. is it easy? Fuck no. Is it ugly.. Hell yes.

But one sip ..

Is one too many for me …

I’m proud of me and all my growth . Without this change I would’ve never fully understood my own potential.

Here’s to another day of sobriety . Here’s to hoping for 24 more hours .
