Made it a year!

May 18, 2024 2:47 PM

Addiction is addiction.
One year ago today I made the decision.
I've slipped seven times in that year.
But each time I've gotten up, dusted myself off, and re-dedicated myself.
I made it a year.

As things go, this is also a bittersweet anniversary. Three years ago today, one of my best friends was finally removed from life support after the doctors said there was no way he'd come out of the coma he'd been in for weeks. I miss him a lot. I always thought there'd be more time. And I guess now I'll try to continue my streak in memory of him.

Miss you, Dana.
I'm trying to do better.

Congratulations! It's not easy getting rid of an addiction and alcohol has the downside of having a strong social pressure deeply rooted in social norms.

I've been off alcohol for about 6months also

I hope you're Norwegian, because that medallion says you're søber.

Yeah, I didn't even notice that until I took the photo just now. Weird.
