One year

This weekend I officially made it to a milestone I never thought I would make. I had quit countless times and never was able to commit to it because my brain wouldn't allow me to. I was able to make a break from the streak and I haven't stopped running since. My life is different to me. Others may not see it but I am living in a different frame of mind. I needed to understand that and accept it to move forward without my relationship to alcohol. I am involved more in every aspect of real life. I am a better parent, a better husband, a better friend, a better coach - all because I was able to treat myself better and rid myself of that toxic cycle. I was emotionally exhausted from it. It's still an adjustment. I still struggle and it's normal. I thank this community for being a voice of reason. For being patient. For being kind. IWNDWYT
