I actually kept my New Years Resolution !
 
Today marks, One hundred and eighty freaking awesome sober days in 2015 !!!

I kinda can't even wrap my head around this. It has been, a very challenging 6 months. I have faced some of my genuinely greatest fears in life, sober. Now.

There was a time, in my twenties and thirties that should have been my "prime". However, I could barely leave the house. Alcohol had rendered me agoraphobic. Panic ridden. Depressed. Filled with a raging inferiority complex and full of self loathing. This ebbed and flowed throughout the decades, seemingly directly paralleled with my alcohol consumption. I thought the drinking was helping. That's a truth, I am embarrassed to admit.

Denial in its greatest display.

I'm rapidly approaching the wrong side of 40 lol, and I haven't ever, in all my years, feel like I feel right now. I imagine, this is what I should of felt like back in my prime. I expect 50 is going to be my new 30. :)

No one said it was going to be easy, just that it would be worth it.

Thanks for walking with me, and holding my hand, on this journey. ..

XO AO
