A photo of text that says:
Today marks two years of sobriety.
This is a milestone that I didn't think I'd ever see and it absolutely wouldn't have been possible without the support of my true friends, family, psychiatrist, my partner and countless others. Your belief in me during my most challenging moments gave me so much strength and tenacity. These past two years have been a journey of growth, self-discovery and relearning who the hell I actually am.
I've had a problem with moderation since I was a teenager, but I couldn't see it until a handful of years ago and even then, I didn't want to. Your brain will lie to you to try and keep addiction alive and it's frightening that you don't know it until you're on the outside. I was spiraling and not coping with so much loss and trauma.
I’m deeply grateful for the love and encouragement that has surrounded me every step of the way and I like the person I am today. I'm recovering and here's to tomorrow and the next day and the one after that.
Big love
