01 What it was like

I always knew I was an alcoholic but couldn’t face the fact that it was true. I went through many Traumatic events and developed serious depression. After that I just didn’t care anymore and continued to drink no matter what the consequences were.

02 What happened

I’ve been through pancreatitis, DUI, broken leg, eye injury, and plenty of hospital visits. I have gone to three rehabs in 11 months and it took lucky number three to finally realize that I cannot live this life anymore.

03 What it is like now

After I got out of my third rehab I made a promise to myself and my higher power that I would live my life sober. I’m extremely grateful that I found AA, my higher power (who I call my Creator), and found a life worth living. I just received my two year chip on July 26 and I am back in school, got my own apartment, and just bought myself a new car. None of these things would’ve been possible if I were still drinking and every day I am so grateful that I am sober, healthy, and finally happy!!
