Congratulations big time
“Thanks to a power far greater than myself, I’m incredibly grateful to be celebrating 11 years of continuous sobriety today. July 27, 2014, is etched into my heart forever.
I started this journey at 25.
I made it to one year — then relapsed.
Two years — then again.
Three — and still had to try, fail, and try again. Staying sober isn’t easy, and getting there took everything I had.
But through it all, sobriety has given me so much:
the ability to live with honesty,
the joy of helping others,
a deeper sense of self-worth,
the peace that comes from within,
and the strength to finally say,
“I care about you — but I have to choose me.”
