An incredible piece of writing, Sarah. Thank you for sharing such an intimate and self-reflective story. Coming to the decision to embrace a clean and sober life is not an easy one. Doing so is even more difficult. It’s okay to want that drink, as long as you know how to avoid having it.
Keep writing about your journey. It’s inspiring to us all!
It takes courage to share your journey. You have shown forthright and brutal honesty in revealing your inner struggle, your acting out of the deep pain lodged in your heart and soul and psyche. I honor this brave attempt to put this out. I imagine it is cathartic for you but it is also an invitation to all those who struggle with any addiction to talk about their pain. The numbers of hurting souls, I imagine, are legion. Thank you for digging deep into your soul and sharing your raw vulnerability with others.
Thank you, Mom. This was a catharsis for me, and it's powerful to see how it's connecting with others and to hear the stories people have shared in response. In bearing witness to one another's pain, we help each other heal.
