Today I am 1 YEAR Sober😃🙏🏼❤️🩹! It’s hard to sum up the last 365 days, but what I can say is I am proud! Proud of not picking up a drink on those days when I normally would have.
Addiction consumed me for almost a decade, and I was in denial and oblivious to the man I had become because of it. I finally had to commit to life and stop playing victim once and for all! There is no moderation for addicts. I was living in the past and letting alcohol consume my daily life and ruin my future. There is no magic trick, you just have to know when your done, and from there focus only on what you can control. Putting down the substance is possible, but it requires changes some are too scared to make, and I was one of those people. And that is why Faith is so important…I had to trust life was better without alcohol even though I couldn’t really imagine what that looked like for me. I had to commit to action, not just talking about what I was going to do!
A piece of me died the day I lost both of my parents, but now I go to sleep at night knowing they can rest in peace and look down proudly on the man I am becoming, not just proud of my talent or accomplishments. I am now a dad, a husband and a father, and I know my role is to be a leader to my own family God blessed me with. My Wife
@kamikach is my rock, straight up and down💯. She’s championed me and pushed me when I felt I had nothing left, and saw me through the depths of hell addiction takes you to. I am forever grateful for her unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness.
Finally, to all my friends and supporters, I truly appreciate your support over the years and look forward for what’s to come!
“To anyone struggling, I hope this shines a light on the possibility of a life of freedom. When we recover loudly, we keep others from dying quietly.”
Love y’all
