2 years!
Good Morning to all!
2 year's ago today, 09/24/2017 I woke up from my very last drunk. My very last drink. While I had half-heartedly tried to be sober for 10 years with on and off "dry drunk" spells, on 09/24/2017 something was different. I can only explain it as though GOD answered my unspoken prayers to have the thought/urge/desire/need/want of another drink to be completely removed from me.
To list all the things I had done would take me forever just know that I am not who I used to be when I was drinking. I was a very selfish, insecure, rebellious, disrespectful human who would destroy any kind of relationship in the hurricane path that was me.
Now, that was not always the case, but that is who I choose to remeber my drunk self as, so I never feel like it is OKAY to have a drink, to glamorize something that destroyed my soul and brought me further and further from GOD and the truth.
Had I not gone through that experience I for sure would not be who I am today and continue to grow and walk with the lord to be a better version of myself.
One of the best things about sobriety and knowing my children will NEVER know that Drunk me. They will NEVER know what it feels like to have a substance be more important than them, to never know that the party is more important than them, to never know that mom is selfish in all things and they are at the bottom of the list.
I have stopped the cycle that has affected our family tree for far too long and my hope and prayer is that our children will never have to deal with addiction.
This song is the song that got me through so many days at the beginning of my sobriety: Who you are by Unspoken
It is never too late to change who you are. The sooner the better
Have a great day,
