Today Is My 23rd Sobriety Anniversary [View all]

After waking up with a pounding headache and a horrible hangover, I made the decision to stop drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes at the same time. Life is so much clearer and stable being sober. I know that I made the best decision for my body and myself. I am so proud of my epic accomplishment!
