still-tumblin: still-tumblin: This is what 9 months of sobriety looks like So so so proud of myself! you’re doing an incredible thing, and fighting an incredible fight, and i hope you are so kind to yourself along the way. not to be the debby downer on this post, but seeing this honestly gives me so much hope and warms my heart. Alcoholism is very personal to me for two reasons: after 30 years of addiction, my father succumbed to the struggle and took his own life when i was 20, and he was 50 years old. my step dad got sober when i was 16, and has been sober ever since (6.5 years now!) and I would go to meeting with him as a kid and celebrate his birthdays and other’s in the program and my hope in healing would refill itself again and again, like a fountain that would temporarily dry up, but never permanently. i don’t mean to make this about me, because it is not. but it is about the power of alcoholism and the courage and strength and willpower and simultaneous selfness yet selfishness it takes to heal and that is always, always worth it. I don’t know you at all, but I hope you know you are a brave soul and your post refilled my fountain yet again. -- source link
