Today I’m 165 days sober
When I started this on January 16th it was my sixth attempt since October to be sober. I feel emotional writing this but please if you’re under 165 days KEEP GOING. I felt so lost and confused and like I had nothing when I first started. Now I’m living in my own place for the first time and working two jobs I even still occasionally hang in bars to shoots darts and just drink a soda or juice. Sobriety is a choice you make daily and I don’t have everything pieced together but I don’t know how to put it into words but the longer you stay sober life truly only gets better. I even just had a friend I thought was my real friend do something shady and I processed it on my own and cut that person out before I would’ve been very reactive and not known how to cope.

Never give up
I was redownloading Reddit and going down memory lane. This used to be my most active page. In 2020, I hit my heaviest weight of 260 lbs and felt so lost and defeated. I got up and just walked a lap around my neighborhood crying feeling so sad. I came back and finally started to teach myself how to realistically be active I chose walking. I actually walked in place the first twenty pounds. I’m rambling but long story short by mid 2021 I’d lost over 100 lbs. as of today I lost some weight due to alcohol sobriety but I weight 145 lbs. I’ve kept the weight off. There were days I never knew this was possible. Please keep going , everyone has a first day to their journey . Trust the process and see it through always I promise it’s worth the risk.
