2 sober years! 🎈🥹

I can't believe it! the first year was so unbearable and I didn't want to live anymore and I couldn't even get out of bed and it felt like I was dying, but now I'm enjoying every single day and thanking myself for trying to stop and I succeeded!

before I quit, I was drinking 24/7 for about 10 years, if not more. I haven't had any sober days at all and I'm surprised im still alive. so right now im very very very proud of myself and it's a real miracle 🥰

* also look at what a pretty candle I bought uwu 💖

180 days sober today

It's still hard

I still think about drinking and smoking daily

I do miss it

I've read more books, drawn more pictures, joined more groups and tried more new things this year than before I quit

I'm struggling with my weight more, now

I'm kinder to the people around me, and much less self centered. Perspective is easier than it was.

I'm.... tired. It's not easy

Haven't given up yet.

The Tunnel

Imagine you are looking into the opening of a long dark tunnel. You can see no light at the end, you only hear the voice of your teacher. You must enter the tunnel. You must walk through the darkness. You follow the voice. For the tunnel is not straight, it has many corners, and as you round the last corner you see your teacher, standing in the light, waiting for you.

When I entered rehab I was confused and desperate. I had made the most important decision, to get help, but little did I know that things were going to get a lot darker before they got better. The journey of exploring my fears, insecurities and trauma was about to begin.

In the first few weeks I remember wanting to hide in my room. I wanted to be alone. Now I was being asked to be in the presence of other people while I was at my most vulnerable. I was raw with emotion, puffy eyed and overwhelmed.

As time went on, I was to face many painful realities while exploring the history of my addiction. Some of these realities I had never accepted. Some were secrets that I thought I would take to the grave. Over and over again I was broken open, spilling out all the ugliness I had been keeping inside. Each time I believed there was nothing left to frighten me, no more to expose, but each time I was wrong.

I had no choice but to trust that I was in safe hands. I had made a conscious choice to trust my counsellor and made the decision to do whatever he asked of me. He tasked me with the nearly impossible over and over, and each time I came out the other side a stronger person. I had an understanding of myself that I had never had before. I was on my way to a life in recovery.

I am forever grateful.

☭ Communist anti-alcohol posters ☭

Dear comrades,

alcohol is a drug, an addiction

alcohol will not solve your mental and life problems, it will only cause more

the more you use alcohol as a tool to feel better, the more you are a puppet of alcohol and addiction

when you drink alcohol, the capitalists make money off you

capitalists want you to drown in ignorance and intoxication because you will not be able to solve your problems and you will become a slave to the capitalist regime

you know your life is bad when you drink alcohol

so come with us,

join our socialist/communist union and ideology,

and let's destroy this slavery system together!

for a better tomorrow!

for a healthy and fulfilling life!

for a life without slave labor and poor living conditions!

you deserve to live,

not drown in the sorrows of the capitalist world!

☭ Socialism is the future for us all !! ☭

Here I am, in a sort of hedge, hiding from my dog's enemy, Jasper.

In my 8th month of being sober!
