Happy Sober Birthday to me. This day last year I was waking up in a hospital after being out of it for two days in handcuffs wondering wtf happened. With nothing but a police officer, a nurse to babysit me, and my thoughts I was wondering if my life had just ended. Well two days prior it almost did. Being told I tried to take my own life unknowingly, scaring my daughter half to death, and putting myself in position to lose everything I had worked so hard to gain I knew enough was enough. The events that happened shifted my life and July 1st, 2021 was the day I chose to live. Fresh out the hospital and out of handcuffs I was embraced by @belmontshorelife and @fancypenelope they didn’t say anything but “we got you” and I knew it to be true. My cousins @epopedc and @spiffytiffy12 hadn’t heard from me in days but figured out a way to get me out of jail before entering. My best friend @its.reesee went on a mission to make sure to find out what happened and be there for me no matter what. @jilliannicolegomez had my back in ways I can never repay her. She held down my fort while I was down and still holds me down on a daily (best neighbor ever). Everyday I fight to stay sober I remember all those people who showed up for me. Throughout my journey I’ve gotten so much support from my family and friends and fellow AA members. @scheana and @raquelleviss always make me feel normal whenever we’re out and always support my journey. @flyreemz @beefcakepapi_ @focused_justin always remind me to stay on my path and always check that my drink isn’t liquor lol. @arianna.mignon @doncity and @taylorfreedbish have been there to listen and support me as their bro without hesitation. There are so many others that have helped to get me to a year. This is a daily fight and everyday I have to be extremely dedicated and disciplined to maintain my sobriety. I know there are others out there who struggle and don’t know where to start. As we say in AA we start at day one and thank God that we are sober today in this moment. Just start. Ask for help. Don’t let your guilt or shame stop you if you need help. Today I am thankful. Thank you to everyone who has been 10 toes down for me. 🙏🏾
