9 months of self discovery & 9 months of stepping outside of habitual & societal ‘norms’ to see what life is like on the other side, not using alcohol to celebrate, grieve, mark occasions, give confidence, as a crutch when times are tough, to numb, mask, ease discomfort etc🩷
@LINewsletter00 Life had become unmanageable. Honestly, I don't think I would have changed without my supportive family encouraging me. It's given me a life I never knew was possible. A life of freedom and serenity. I'm very blessed.
@SoberVeggie Ohhh hellll yeah! What was it, if you don't mind me asking, that helped you feel like things needed to be different in your life?
Thank you for sharing your story :)
@SoberVeggie Congratulations, G, on 2 years of sobriety!🥳 You are finally reaching the point in recovery where you have an idea of your "new" identity. If your addiction was like mine - it took time for me to get to know my sober self, a completely different person!
I'm very proud of you!😌
It's all about remembering how far you have come one day at a time. I'm grateful to remember the person on the left and it shaped the woman on the right.

@SoberVeggie Robert Downey Jr. speaking to a judge after repeated offences:
Paraphrased-"It's like holding a loaded and cocked gun in your mouth and loving the taste of gun metal."
Today I cried tears of joy and happiness. The promises of recovery really do come true if you work for them. I'm so lucky and blessed for my life, my god and my fellows. It works if you work it, so work it you're worth it! #RecoveryPosse#sober#Fellowship
