It was 30 years ago today I was out on what was to be my last night of drunken madness. A night I will never remember. Thank goodness for black outs. Waking up with huge bruises all over my body and most of my clothes missing. The hallucinations were horrible. This was not unusual amongst other horrible details along with constant paranoia, anxiety, constantly shaking and wanting to die. This needs to be talked about more not hidden away like some crime. I remember my first few years of recovery frightened to tell anyone in the so called real world I was an alcoholic. The shame and guilt I felt and fear of judgement. Not today. I know how many people still suffer. The more we talk about it the more other people can see another way. It’s been 30 years of self discovery, learning, laughter, bringing two beautiful souls into the world, adventure, following dreams, failure without regret, trying again, success, careers and most importantly finding me which is still a work in progress. I once was told if you wake up with no problems you are dead. If life was all easy we would all be bored. If I didn’t feel pain I wouldn’t know the contrast of joy. I know I need to feel the uncomfortable to appreciate the peace. I think the hardest thing is overcoming fear ( false evidence appearing real ) I haven’t conquered that one yet but sometimes I feel pretty dam close. I’m grateful for my journey and all the people in it. Life’s pretty amazing and I’m going to continue to enjoy the journey xxxx 800 or so people in NZ die every year from alcohol related incidents. This doesn’t even get close to all the other lives suffering. Let’s change that good old kiwi culture and get sober.
Love this ...
