02 What happened

Walked into a treatment center thinking i was going for some tests. Was in total denial. I actually did not think I had a drinking problem.

Glad I did the 90 days program. Self awareness & self acceptance are key in this journey.

03 What it is like now

*Dear Addiction*

Some call you a disease

I call you a monster

Many have succumbed to you

Many are still imprisoned by you

You told me I couldn't do it

I chose not to believe you this time

"Progress not perfection" is the mantra

1461 days I've managed to keep you at bay

4 years I've learnt to deal with you

I choose to fight this monster daily

For those still imprisoned

There is hope

There is help

Here's to 4 years of continuous sobriety.
