I’m a recovering alcoholic

I’ve been sober for a little over a month now.

I can see myself living a sober life now. I don’t even desire a drink anymore. The last time I drank, I fractured my brow bone and got lost in some area with a bunch of warehouses.

Thankfully some lady was there to help me call my father.


It’s the kindness of complete strangers that has helped me be less afraid of people.

So many strangers have helped me in seemingly simple ways. But to me their help meant everything.

I intend to pay it forward now that I’m back up on my feet. I got a lot of debts to pay and lots of things I got to fix between me and certain people. I’ll surprise them all. I wasn’t myself, it’s like something else takes over when you’re that deep into alcoholism.

Korn had it right, first you consume it, then it consumes you.

The good news is that I’m smiling and often happy these days. I feel empowered like never before. I’m ready for whatever life throws at me.
