There are moments when your in so deep, its easier to just swim down

I heard this in a song today while running. Its funny the things that seem to hit me right in the feels sometimes. I replayed the song a few times. And, I realized... There were times when I wanted to just swim down, but... But I paddled to the top, I wore a life vest for a few weeks, pretty soon I was doing the breaststroke, then the butterfly and now I feel like I'm floating on top. My sobriety is my greatest achievement I think...besides my kids. I'm really proud of it, I protect it. Its hard in the beginning, so many obstacles, so many voices, so many doubts. But wow, its so worth it. I wish everyone could know, everyone could feel how freeing it is. Man my endorphins must be flowing from my run, because I just feel so grateful today. Thanks for being here everyone, I try to read everyday, and your posts keep me going. Happy sober pre-Friday!!
