I made it!

This year has been the best year of my life. I have never had a better year than this, but I think I’ll have even better ones to come. I’ve lost 34lbs, got accepted back into community college and had my academic holds lifted (completion rate issue, not GPA), my herniated discs aren’t giving me too much trouble anymore, I managed to get on Medicaid just in time for insurance lapse and ALL my specialists are covered !! I met an amazing guy and we’re gonna hang out tomorrow and I am just having the best time. I had a massive creative block lifted and started a HUGE project, my financial aid went through so I don’t need to pay for summer, fall, or next spring semesters and because there was excess money I GET FUCKING PAID TO GO TO SCHOOL AGAIN AAAAAAA!!!! On saturday I’ll be three years sober from alcohol and drugs AND i managed to quit all nicotine products, I learned how to play the piano better, I can walk around the block in the summer heat and not die (my thermoregulation system is broken), I GOT TO SEE MY FAVE BAND :D Three years ago I had almost lost everything to addiction and mental health issues and I was at such a fucking rock bottom but I finally finally have made it and I’m so proud of myself for how far I’ve come. Never give up, folks! If you’re still alive, you’re not struggling with your demons—your demons are struggling with YOU! Go out there and do all the things and listen to all the music and watch all the shows and go everywhere and talk to everyone!! Have a blessed day yall!!!
