i find it incredibly hard to comment on addiction and sobriety because everyone’s journey looks so vastly different. not all addiction looks the same, and not everyone is lucky enough to reach the point of recovery. one year ago i went into rehab and began to find parts of myself that i had lost years and years ago. ive been a #boozefreebabe now for 368 days (but who’s counting) and although i wish i could tell you my life is perfect sunshine and rainbows, it’s not. it’s messy and confusing but somehow still beautiful, and i am finally able to wake up every morning excited to see what the day will bring. i once thought sobriety was something to be ashamed and embarrassed of, but i have quickly learned that that is far from the truth. the people that ive met along this journey have by far been the strongest people i have ever met-despite all they’ve gone through they still have the hope and determination to make life better for themselves and for the people around them. to my family, i could not have done this without you. ive never felt so grateful to have the support and love that i do from you all. and to my bianca. im here today because of you. you are my light and my love and thank you for sticking with a sober best friend through it all. you truly have saved me, and no one look at my wife i swear to god ill kill you she’s mine. to everyone that’s handed me an @athleticbrewing na beer (use my code hadleyb for 20% off🤭), a diet coke or a thc drink, listened to me cry on the phone and been a shoulder to lean on- thank you and i love you :) and to everyone that saw and liked my comment on @chrisolsen post a year ago- i did it bitches!!! “never underestimate the big importance of small things.” my life is just getting started- the time is now! let’s fucking do it.
