Today, I celebrate two years of sobriety 🤍 I have been reflecting a lot on this milestone and to be honest — it feels amazing to reach. There were so many times when I was first consciously trying to get sober that getting to two days or even two weeks without drinking felt impossible. I would barely recover from the previous night or weekend’s partying before doing it all over again — I was stuck in a vicious cycle of bad decisions, self loathing, and anxiety all the time and for years it felt like I would never break free. I cried earlier today reflecting on how far I’ve come and how truly amazing it is to be here. There were years of my life where literally all I could think about day in and day out were getting sober. Of finally making it stick. I’m so proud of myself for making it this far and for making the decision to finally stick with it. I’ve done this without going to meetings, without a program, without rehab (though I thought about all of these options many times) but I could NOT have made it this far without the support of my friends and family who I am so, so grateful for every day for supporting me in my sobriety and so many other ways. I could go on an on about the positive ways that sobriety has impacted my life and I’m always more than happy to speak with anyone about my journey, but for the most part it all boils down to this: for the first time in my life, I finally feel free. Free to be me. Free to be whoever that is. The last two years have been such a beautiful journey of self discovery, expression, and healing parts of me that I didn’t know were broken. I look forward to continuing to become the essence of who I am and what the next two years will bring me. If you are on your own sobriety journey, keep going — it only gets better and better 🤍
