April 18th, 2019 I sat in my parents living room with my girlfriend of two months, boss, co workers, and family. I had a plane ticket purchased by my employer (police department) to Utah. It was time to face the demon which lived inside me for years. I had lost complete control. I was on the verge of losing my job, my girlfriend, and my life. This was my rock bottom.
I struggled with alcoholism since I was 21 years old. After several combat deployments to Afghanistan in the Marine Infantry, I thought it was normal behavior. I drank every day, with no shut off valve. I would go until I couldn’t go anymore.
253 days. I take one day at a time, and thank God for giving me the strength to be sober today, right now, as I write this. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, but I will take another 24!
For those struggling...DO NOT GIVE UP. Sobriety is possible!!!
