6 Years

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am 6 years sober today.

Life is mostly good, okay and neutral. A few crashes here and there. But learning everyday. There's no destination, just a continual choosing the next right step, even when it's bitter sweet.

It feels like a lifetime ago since I last considered having a drink. I heard on a podcast recently, "Why choose the thing you hate that's sitting infront of you? Turn around and there's the whole rest of the world."

I will work today, and then I will come home to watch a movie with my kids. And I feel excited about it all day.

I still turn the music up and dance around, just at a significantly earlier time in the day.

I will keep going, because I know this is the right path for me.

Thank you for reading and cheering for me over the years. I appreciate you all.

This is AMAZING!!!! Well done. What I love about your posts is that you and I have been here since year one (if I remember) and I see the subtle shift in your maturity. Bearing witness to someone who is growing is really beautiful. Six years has been good for me. Feel settled and content:)
