I struggled with alcohol for about 10 years. It started after my mom and dad passed away a year apart. For a long time, I wanted to quit, but I always found reasons to keep drinking. Every time I tried to stop, I’d have nightmares and intense cravings, and I’d convince myself to keep going.

For a year or two, I kept telling myself, “I want to quit. I want to quit.” But I wasn’t ready yet.

What finally changed wasn’t because I suddenly wanted to stop. It was because I got into trouble. I spent a night in jail and ended up in the hospital. Around that same time, I was waiting to start my school job, and I realized that if I kept going down that path, I could lose that opportunity.

That was my turning point. I told myself, “This is it. I need to quit.”

It wasn’t easy. The cravings were strong for a long time, but I found ways to get through those early days.

I’ve been sober for about 6 years now, and I’m so grateful I never gave up on myself.

So please don’t beat yourself up. Recovery takes time, and everyone’s journey is different. Don’t doubt yourself, and don’t talk down to yourself. Be patient with yourself, keep your chin up, and keep thinking positive thoughts.

You’ve got this. One day at a time. ❤️

Oh I forgot about this lol when my husband used to go out exploring, I would stay home a lot because our 2 older kids were just 6-7 years old but sometimes my mother in law could watch them and he can take me out on rooftops and explore, I was amazed how beautiful this city is from up there 💖
