8 years today

While I don't count days, I do give a nod to the day I decided to change my life. There is a clear demarcation between "then" and "now".

and if I had it to do over, I would pick "now" again. Every. Single. Time.

Eight years means I don't clearly remember the feeling of being drunk or high, but I do definitely remember the struggle and the darkness. If you are currently in that struggle, never give up. The battle can be won and you can be free.

I saw the thread title, soberlicious, and clicked through to see who the OP was. I saw your name, and it brought a big smile to my face. Thanks for this, and for what you bring. Best to you.
