On Valentine’s Day, I will celebrate 10 years of sobriety 🙌🏻

I was interventioned on Christmas Day because I had a hard-core problem with adderall. Adderall was my DOC (drug of choice).

But let’s be honest, if it could make me feel different, then I was going to do it.

So, I like to say I am an addict of ALL THINGS because why discriminate with just one drug when all drugs can help me escape. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well, that became my mindset anyway…

I got clean from adderall on Christmas but I wasn’t quite ready to remove my alcohol from my life (because that wasn’t my problem).

Ultimately, I looked at my relationship with alcohol and any drug and realized…

I am MOTHER FU***NG ADDICT.

If I tell myself that I can’t use one drug but give myself permission to use something else..

Well, I’m just going to blow my life up even more!

That’s when I decided to give up alcohol too.

But I did have to get blackout drunk first on February 13th, 2016, while going on an early valentines date with my then-boyfriend (now, husband).

That is why Valentine’s Day is my official sobriety date - I hadn’t yet come to the revelation that I was going to give up alcohol too but I was too hungover to drink in actual Valentine’s Day so ta-da!

The Hallmark holiday just happens to be my favorite day of the year…

It’s a day that reminds me of how far I’ve come.

It’s the day my new life began…

I was sitting in outpatient treatment talking to a few intravenous drug users when it hit me….

I AM NO DIFFERENT THAN THEM.

It doesn’t matter the vice…whichever drug - benzos, opiates, amphetamines, alcohol…. We are all just looking for a way to escape.

That’s why if a drug was put in front of me, I was going to try it. Maybe not the first time, maybe not the second time, but eventually I would try it.

That’s how I know, I KNOW, I would have tried he**in if I just happened to be around people who were doing it. Eventually, the obsession to escape would get the best of me and I would justify doing it just like I did everything else.

That’s why it was so important for me to give up EVERYTHING, including alcohol.

I am a go hard or go home type of girl so if I’m going to go hard on sobriety, than I’m ALL IN.

I didn’t necessarily want to be sober…but I wanted to be happy.

And I knew the only way to get happy was to first, be sober.

And here I am, 10 years later…still sober and at peace.

I have peace within myself.

I can go through the holidays with the dysfunction, addiction and weird-ass family dynamics all around me and still be at peace.

It’s amazing.
