10 Years Clean & Sober

 

A.K.A What a Long Strange Trip it has Been

 

 

October 1, 2013 I got this nifty little medallion.

It means after years of fucking up with the assistance of various chemicals, I wanted to change the downward trajectory of my life. It means I am no longer the life of the party. I don't have cocaine in my underwear. There's not a bong under the sofa. There aren't any bottles under my bed, in the pantry or under the seat in my truck.

 

It didn't work out the way I planned. I didn't get back everything I lost. I got back what I needed.

 

It doesn't mean I grew up. Awe hell no. Like that will ever happen.

 

It just means that when I fuck up today, it's on me. The chemicals are gone. I don't need them. I am perfectly capable of fucking up in brilliant, unconventional ways all by myself.

 

Now... Go play some good songs loud.

We all have choices. You made the right one for you and stuck with them. Each of us would be fortunate to make the right choice.

Day by day keep up the good fight.  It's never easy, but it's clear you would rather be you than the product of addicting chemicals.  Congrats!
