#6yearssober

Facebook decided to remind me of how unhealthy I was 7 years ago today. I am so thankful my daughter came into my life and saved me from all that. Recovery is absolutely possible, you just have to want to get better and flip that switch in your head. I’m never going back to being a skeleton again.

Happy New Year everyone! Today marks my 6 year sober anniversary! I am so glad that I woke up 6 years ago today, with a raging hang over and emotionally exhausted, and decided to see what would happen if I cut all drugs and alcohol out of my life for the month of Jan. I wanted to see what would happen to my mental clarity, my emotions, my sense of self, my panic attacks, my anxiety, my general physical and mental health. At the end of Jan I was emaciated, sick with the flu, pimples all over my body, my skin looked grey, and I could barely walk to the bathroom. But something inside of me was changing and I felt a sense of power over my own situation. So I thought, what will happen if I continue on for the month of Feb. The story continues on and I no longer think month long, I think life long. The longer my sobriety lasts the better my life gets. The pandemic has put a massive kink in my self care and self esteem but I never blew off my sobriety. And now as I continue on in this world wide pandemic I am finally remembering all the tools I had in place before the world shut down. It took THAT long to get back to my 2019 tools and tricks to keep the anxiety and panic attacks at bay and the healthy thinking and forward motion continuing. I have forgotten so much and I am happy to have them back! So here’s to 2022, the year we learn to live with this virus and get our 2019 mojo back plus the mojo that’s been backed up since March 2020! I look forward to crushing this year!!! Thank you @jstein for my 6 year coin! I will cherish it as much as you did! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 #soberlife #soberanniversary #6yearssober #happynewyear2022 #happysobrietybirthday https://www.instagram.com/p/CYM_S6qP09S/?utm_medium=tumblr

🤘🏼🎂 ❤️☕️ 🎈I am very appreciative for the many heartfelt calls, messages, texts, faxes, etc acknowledging my special second bday today. My 6 year soberversary! It’s really hard to believe. I say this every year...every day. But I really mean it. I’m just so damn lucky to have met my love Sara @terrygirl3 (& Jobe @jobe.shaw). She took a big ass chance on me and really pushed me to see life without all the bs of drinking and drugs. I’m forever grateful to her. She brought me into a world unfamiliar to me. Now I try to live to the fullest I can every day. The bs trap door is closed. I like this life much better and look forward to many more sober years ahead. Thanks for reading this. Much love & peace to you all during these crazy times and for the much needed better changes in the world ahead! Thanks for your rad support over all of the years! Be good to each other. Be a kind human! Respect one another.🎈☕️❤️🎂🤘🏼 (If you’re struggling yourself, please don’t hesitate to reach out.) #sobriety #6yearssober #soberlife #soberversary #grateful #thankful #humbled #love #equality #humanity #life #lifeisbeautiful (at Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFf-t2FnNBC/?igshid=khe7bgonyvx6

Celebrating 6 YEARS strong today! Each year we’ve been together, my wife has celebrated my recovery with me by getting me a unique sobriety coin (so lucky to have a spouse that knows how important that is to me). #6YearsSober #BestWifeEver #FridayFeels https://www.instagram.com/p/BpHRnwyF3D8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1javn1hag29y3

Happy 6 years of sobriety Demi ❤❤ I'm so proud of you and how far you've come. You are amazing . I love you 💜😻 @ddlovato #demilovato #demi #demetria #6yearssober

Today marks my 6th year of continuous sobriety. I have a long way to go and take it day by trying day but I am pretty damn proud of the human I have evolved into. More days than not, I truly enjoy the person looking back at me in the mirror - I don't remember a single day I could truthfully say that before 6 years ago. I owe it all to my two small humans who make me want to be fully present in their childhoods, my folks for doing all the heavy lifting and not giving up on me long after I gave up on myself, my husband for simply loving me and my friends for staying/coming back. You guys da real MVP 😉🙏🏻 #6yearssober #soberissexy #billwismyhomeboy #itworksifyouworkit #inkedandsober #tattooedwomen #sobersister #sobermom #justdontdie
