Today marks 10 years of sobriety for me. 10, fucking, years. In one sense it feels remarkable, and in another sense, completely mundane.
For 10 consecutive years, each day, I’ve chosen to be more present to my reality. Problems arise, and I choose to face them rather than drink or drug them away.
My reality for so long consisted of waking up to a drink. It was a physical necessity in the latter years of drinking.
To have escaped that hell is something I’m forever grateful for, and I’m grateful for all the helping hands that pulled me up out of that hole.
It’s a day of reflection, and also at the same time, just another day. But another day is quite a gift, innit?
