Celebrating 3 years today!

Feeling really grateful for:

- all the mornings that I woke up not hating myself, not clutching my pounding head, not reaching for my phone in an absolute panic as I figured out what weird stuff I did or said the night prior

- all the books I've read, art I've seen, plays and shows I actually went to, trips I've actually enjoyed and experienced things beyond cars, hangovers, and wandering fearfully through dark, unfamiliar streets

- three years of being able to stand by my words and actions, being trusted by the people in my life, known as a reliable and dependable person

- exercise and adventures that I'd have never considered or thought myself capable of

- three years of living creatively and curiously

- three years of feeling like- y'know what, I'm a pretty cool guy

I'm so very grateful for 3 years sober. And, very grateful for this community- a place that I have checked in daily for encouragement and understanding. IWNDWYT!
