5 years sober, me, from alcohol and drugs. Have been lucky, not as hard for me as so many others. Thank you for writing this. Carry on one day at a time and blessed be. Peace 💖
“That taste for alcohol doesnt go away”, this resonated with me. Even though ive never been an alcoholic. I once fell deeply in love with a man I shouldnt have and I became unhealthily obsessed with him. It took me years to “get over him” and it was only until this year that i am starting to feel like it doesnt haunt me anymore. But every now and then some thoughts still creep into my head. Sometimes i fantasize but lately its a lot easier to reject those thoughts. I have made peace with the reality that ill probably have to reckon with that former obsession every now and then, perhaps for my lifetime or at least a very long time.
Kudos to you and your journey. May the weight be a little lighter with every passing day!
You would have, and will someday, make a great US Senator.......
This story on the power of addiction and the courage to discuss it help as our understanding more than anything I have read. Thank you!
I wish you "another 24."

Thank you for this. You never know who needed to see it, and it took courage to publish it and re-publish it. Hug.
One day at a time. One day at a time.
Blessings to you Matt. Thank you for this. I'm grateful for your life and honesty in so many ways!
We're glad you're here, Matt!
If alcohol addiction is a family "affair", healing is for life. Thanks for this courageous post, Matt.
Happy (sober) trails
Lol
