2 years ago I almost ended my life on the side of the road. Today, I'm sober. Last September I felt a little more dramatic about it. Now I just can't believe what all I would've missed and the pain my family would have endured. I'm glad to have given myself a sober chance. Day 684.

For the sake of milestones, last Tue July 27th I hit 1000 days sober. Today I was thinking randomly while in line at Lowes checkout of a time when I couldn't do the things I am doing today. One of my "rock bottom" moments just before making a stance on starting my sobriety occurred about 3 weeks prior to my day 1. I was at work after a few days bender and I couldn't make it through. My anxiety level was at an all time high with symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. At the time, I wasn't sure what I was feeling and wouldn't let myself declare the way I was feeling was from alcohol. But deep down I knew. I had to leave work early and head home, to drink beer later that evening. The thought of using alcohol to get through a work day started to enter my mind. I never did succumb to those thoughts and I'm glad something pulled me through. The madness when looking back on this time is off the charts! I don't ever want to forget the things in life I simply couldn't do or accomplish because of alcohol. Today I often "forget" how much of the little things I simply couldn't overcome back then. If anyone is still reading this thread, please know as cliche as it sounds...things aren't perfect now, but dang it's so worth it!
