Hey all! Well, I am proud to say, I just got out of inpatient rehab. I threw in the towel and surrendered for real. I feel great! 31 days sober!! I learned so much about my disease, recovery, and most importantly myself. I am waiting for my bag in the airport, fully aware that now the most challenging work begins. But getting over the hump, and doing numerous nights of self-reflection is exactly what I needed!
if you are struggling, and can swing it, I highly recommend going into treatment. So happy to be off the squirrel cage. I feel armed and ready! I will be back here for good.
oh, and I made it through the airport (my former BIG trigger) and the flight with nary an urge to drink. For once, I was THAT guy on the plane I wanted to be.
