❁ Create the life you love ❁

It's been almost two years since I've been back on here. The last time I was here, I had slipped again and started drinking. Now I'm coming up on two years of being sober. I over have not missed drinking or had much of a craving. Mostly just a time here and there where I think it'd be nice to maybe have a beer on the beach or something. Then I "play it forward" and realize it wouldn't be worth it. I don't miss waking up daily and opening my eyes to wonder how bad the hangover will be, and I don't miss checking my phone to see all the damage I'd done while drunk. It's hard to believe and remember the person I let myself become for so long. I'm grateful she's gone. I have however gone through the hardest time in my life so far while being sober. My dad died July 11th, 2024, at around 6am. He died because he drank himself to an early death. I wish my sobriety was enough to save him but I'm thankful he got to know I was going to be ok. I'm grateful I was able to be present and by his side when he needed me the most.

Also! I’m down to meet some people who are also working to get sober so if you see this, feel free to reach out!
