365 days since my last drink
Guys.... I only bloomin went and done it!!!! Tomorrow will be one whole year sober. I cant believe it ha ha!!
Just wanna say this whole day at a thing time really works, the past 12 months has been a emotional roller coaster, extreme highs some extreme lows and a lot of okays in between.
In my first year of sobriety I have discovered who I am and who Im not. The mental clarity of my drinking is absoultely staggering, I can see how much I was caught up in the madness, the denial, and how ill I was. I have to pinch myself that that person was actually me and I question how on earth did I do it?! I feel compassion for myself, absoultely gripped in the disease of alcholism.
Today, I am free from the guilt, the shame, the remorse, the false promises, the violent outbursts., the sickness and stomach upsets, the shakes, the hangovers, it is liberating to be FREE.
I am an alcoholic in recovery. I will always be an alcoholic, I know that if I pick up that first drink I will no longer enjoy the freedom I have today, that drink will take me back to hell and it is just not worth it. Everyday I am grateful for a sober day. When life gets me down and the obsession to drink comes on me, I have faith that it will pass, and it does, I work my programme and so far its kept me sober, I wouldnt swap that for the world.
It has been 365 days since my last drink which is a miracle!
Thank you to everyone whom has helped me so much, you guys rock and I am very grateful.
Much love x x x
