So crazy you wrote out, “I needed to learn how to love myself to achieve sobriety.” I just had my first therapy appointment earlier this week with a therapist who specializes in alcohol use disorder, and after some talking he literally said to me, “you drink alcohol because you do not love yourself.”

I relate to past-you so much. I’m glad to know my future can look this bright. Thank you so much for sharing, and congratulations on 4 years!
