2018 A new year, a new journey. No resolutions for me this year, but a continuation I started 27 August 2017. A life of sobriety. Today I am 151 days clean and sober from drugs and alcohol.

No more alcohol has leveled my A1C levels, along with my diabetic medicine. I was diagnosed in 2012 and have finally allowed myself to have a freedom of accepting my type 2 diabetes.

I did not become an alcoholic overnight, nor did I welcome diabetes and anxiety in at day one. I am learning, one day at a time, that through my accepting my diseases, I can choose to make wise decisions to alleviate them the best I can. I deserve to be that person I, my family, and my friends, can be proud of.
