RE: Alcoholism: Day 71 Of Sobriety. Giving Thanks To Steemians For Helping Me Get Here.

You are an inspiration to us @lexikon082.

It is one thing to admit you want to change but to put it on the blockchain is next level honesty.

I was incredibly happy when I saw that upvote from thejohafiles. Your picture in this post made me smile all the more. Continued blessings to you brother!

Amen to that, he is a good one Lydon.

After I wrote this post I went inside to spend time with my wife. We were talking about steemit and my sobriety. The subject of the blockchain came up. I was explaining to her about the day I decided to start posting about my issue with alcohol and how I was absolutely terrified because I was putting it on the blockchain. I was so scared of failing as I had so many times before and it would be recorded for all to see. The funny thing is I did fail...2x and I left for three months each time I failed. I couldn't let this be recorded as a failure and I kept coming back for more.
It really helped me realize I wanted this.
Knowing I could bring a smile makes this post mean that much more to me. May you continue to be blessed also!
