Such relief.

I took this picture years ago while going through an intense drinking binge.. At the time it represented me coming out and shining my light through the darkness that my life has been. 

I feel such a sense of relief now that I have made the official step towards treatment. It's like a million pound weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

I am actually proud of myself for doing this. I am starting to feel like I can get my life back. I really hate the person I've become.

Hatred and bitterness consume me for myself and others, but mostly myself.

I am so grateful for the support I have from my boyfriend.

I am so grateful I started writing this blog and reading other sober blogs.

I am grateful I have community acupuncture; it's only $25 per session.

I am grateful that I am going to reach out and not be alone in my struggle.

I feel like I can breathe again.
