6 years clean and sober now, was running away from growing up and responsibilty, each time I avoided grown up I was a brought pain and disappointment and blamed everyone, drink and drugs took this burden away but reality always came back and finally very luckily thank god I face everything today and in one of the most responsible jobs ever. Each day is a chance to keep grown up, if I stop, my mind and soul will go back to the old ways, but all we really ever have is one day, stay strong anyone suffering today, it gets better 💪🙏
