Today is special: February 18th marks my eighth year sober; the crippling self-loathing might still be alive and well but, as they say, one day at a time. Cheers!

06NOV25 Huge thank you to my very good friend Curt for HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS (1988) and IN A VIOLENT NATURE (2024) on blu ray to help me celebrate my soberversary
TWO. YEARS. SOBER!
how should i celebrate?
I missed my soberversary! But it's not too late to celebrate 🎉 and the fact that I didn't notice it coming is as big an ode to sobriety as I can imagine. If you want, ask me anything about alcohol and sobriety, alcohol and neurodivergence, alcohol and queerness, as I'm always happy to chat about it. Or you can read my fic that's a love letter to sobriety. *Clinks a mug of tea in cheers to four (4) years!*
730 days alcohol free for me today & my health, wealth, quality of life/love/connection/joy are the strongest they've ever been and keep getting better. Once I removed the blinders of alcohol abuse fueling major depression and obesity, l've been able to race onward and upward to bigger, better and just *nice* things in life. 🥹🥰
My moods stabilized along with my thyroid and other health markers. In total l've lost +/- 318 pounds since my first day sober and that has been it's own challenging journey as well but always so so worth it.
Beyond blessed, grateful and thankful for myself, my family and my chosen family. Thank you for everyone who's supported me or offered encouragement of any kind. 💙💛💙

I think a guy tried to rob me a few years ago and thinking back at it I was laughing non stop. I think I laughed a robber away holy shit. Anyway OH OH ITS OCTOBER IM TWO YEARS SOBER 🤠
Two nights ago, someone on a TV show I was watching was tripping on ‘shrooms. I have never done shrooms, but I did get nostalgic for that high where nothing matters, where you feel outside your own body, where everything is light and airy. I wanted what that character felt. Then last night was a rough night. I ended up reading too much about Omicron and the inevitability that “we are all gonna get it 🤷🏼♀️”. Except for me, that could very possibly be a death sentence. And my brain spiraled out into existential dread mode & I couldn’t stop it. Today I woke up knowing that I didn’t go for the nostalgic high I wanted and I didn’t treat my overwhelming anxiety with unsanctioned (& way too many) pills. I woke up today knowing I made it through both those feelings without drugs - or at least without non-prescription drugs 😉. I woke up this morning knowing I have been sober for twelve years. #Soberversary
