TODAY is 100 days sober for me. Alcohol slowly took over and was destroying my life. A while back I got this DM (pic) from one of our autist frens here who's in the same battle. Is "The Awakening" in the room with you right now? Join us! WE ARE THE AWAKENING. Every change matters. Let's GOOOOO!

🐸 Frog Escape MAGA THREAD 💚
What a wonderful milestone, CS. Congratulations, truly. People really underestimate how insidious substances can be. Nobody knows they have addiction problems until one day, their “normal drinking” keeps them from doing something they usually liked doing.
And by that point, it’s too late to just stop on a dime for most people.
And as you probably know, people who have never accidentally found themselves hooked on something like that are just never going to understand how much of a fight it is to get unhooked. It takes a great deal of strength to recover from addiction, and unfortunately, not everyone has that strength.
You and all the other recovering users in this thread have my sincere respect. That is a battle that never completely ends, and you deserve to celebrate every day as a new victory.
