It has been over half a year since I stopped drinking (190 days). This is an attempt at an honest reflection. Is it worth it? Absolutely. However, it is not easy or without pain. For me. For those who love me. If addiction is a wave of destruction, sobriety is a rollercoaster of emotion, shortcomings […]
In 170 days of not drinking the hardest part so far is realizing how flawed I still am. I still make huge mistakes. I still hurt others deeply. I still hurt myself. I still don’t know myself. Sobriety did not fix me. However sobriety has made me more aware. Sobriety has given me the opportunity […]
4 years and 145 days. Today is 145 days of no drinking. Today is 60 lbs ago. Today is also the 4 year anniversary of me beginning to retake control of my life. Today four years ago I walked into an office in Sandy Springs and said I had lost in a 10 year battle […]

I’ve been completely sober for 320 days. 5:10 am. Alarm. Snooze. Alarm. Definitely did not want to get out of bed. Yoga. Definitely need to get to practice. Go to morning practice Butler.
