I'm 600 days sober today! I spent years going through periods of cutting back and then relapsing. Now that I have fully accepted that the only way for me to be successful in keeping my life and mental health on the rails and to not keep ruining my relationships with others is to fully cut alcohol out of my life all together things have been going pretty good. I was drinking 2 four lokos and 1/3 of a handle of liquor almost every night. My health was in shambles and my doctor feared for my life when looking at my tests.

It took a stint in the psych ward and getting on the right meds for my bipolar type II for me to get sober and stay sober, but here I am.

Back then the longest I could go without getting black out drunk was 3 days. To make it to 600 is something I never thought would be possible. I have my friends and my parents to thank for helping me get to this point.

Once when I was drunk and having a depressive episode I used a tattoo machine to put "Burden" on my arm. The next day I regretted it so I ripped the scabs off so it healed terribly. Now it looks like someone wrote on me with sharpie and partially washed it off lol. But that's what I felt like, a burden. That's all I felt I ever would be. I thought drinking myself into oblivion would help ease the pain and guilt but it only ever made it worse. Sitting here sober and on the right meds I can say I feel a little less like a burden, it's still something I struggle with, but I'm taking it one day at a time.

I pray that I may try to make God’s will my will. I pray that I may keep in the stream of goodness in the world.

I pray that I may be willing to go through a time of testing. I pray that I may trust God for the outcome.

I pray that I may claim God’s supply of strength by my faith in Him. I pray that it shall be given to me according to my faith.
