I have 30 Days!!

What a month it's been!!

30 days ago I decided to save my life, to finally stop the bleeding that had gone on for so long. I'm so grateful for the support and friendship I have found here. I want to thank each and every one of you for allowing me to speak freely and for offering your support in my time of need. The pages are turning on so many things right now in my life. I have been sober for a month, feel very optimistic about it moving forward, and tomorrow is Election Day.

It feels so liberating to be leaving the past behind and to be moving into the future, free from alcohol.

I'd probably never tell him this, but I actually kinda feel like I owe my last "drinking buddy" a big old thank you for helping me get to my bottom so I could finally start to crawl out. Without him, I might not have decided to get so competitively drunk that night. Without him, I might not have said some of the things I regret saying at that wedding. Without him, I might not have seen that I have been dishonoring my status as an Honorable American Veteran. He was a Marine, I was Army. Without him, I might not have seen that I don't need any more "Get Out Of Jail Free Cards" but just to avoid putting myself in situations where I might need them. He's a State Trooper. Without him, I might not have felt the need to really look inward the way I felt I had to after that night.
