I decided it would be best to show my progress in photos from the first day out of rehab to the day marking 6 months of sobriety . I was bloated, weak, poorly nourished, depressed, feeling guilty, beyond anxious and my self-esteem was at an all-time low.
In six months of healthy eating, exercise and therapy, I now feel like myself again. Building and rebuilding relationships, finding a great job, an incredible girlfriend and regaining my self esteem.

Looking back, I wonder how I put myself and others through my active addiction, but it goes to show you just how powerful addiction can be. I still have a long way to go, but I'm taking it one day at a time.

I will not drink with you today.
