25 months sober

Hope

25 months sober and just turned 28 September 21st ,was a rough first 1yr and half. Still not of out the woods yet still haven’t faced all the consequences of my actions. I got a dui 3days before I got sober. Have not went to court yet since my case been on hold for 24months. But I rather face it sober then when I was a complete mess at my lowest ever. I’m starting to feel alive again that took almost 2 years. Was a garbage head and was doing all kinds of poisons but was on RC benzos for 5yrs at least. I had had 2 yrs sober when I was 21 but was miserable and was not able to find peace. Now I’m in a much better place level minded for the most part got promoted at my job that I will probably have to resign from when the consequences come. I’m connected with like minded people that has helped me stay clean. Finally getting into hobbies that have helped me in the past 4-5 months get out of my head. Not everyday is an amazing day but I try to restart my day when I catch my self getting angry. I cannot forget the 3 months before I got completely sober Being in withdrawal from weaning off and even the first year or so with symptoms. Came off way too fast and they definitely did some damage but I’m slowly healing from that. Nothing beats being sober from all mind altering substances.
