stroz (he/him)Before the awful festivities of tomorrow's holiday, I wanted to take a moment to reflect, as it will mark 17 years of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/sobriety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sobriety</a> for me, personally.It's been a tough road, and 45/47 definitely has made the past decade rough as all hell. But I keep showing up, one day at a time.My health has declined since the first COVID infection in 2022, but even with these symptoms, it's a world of difference being sober. My liver and kidneys aren't constantly filtering poison from my body, and after 17 years of time off, maybe they're doing pretty great. Take a look at the before and after photos below...70 extra lbs is a lot to carry!If you are questioning whether you need to stop drinking, or picking up that drug of choice: Don't lie to yourself. It's incredibly easy to lie to yourself, very difficult and admirable to reject lying to yourself in this moment.If I can do this, you can do this. Stay strong. Stay alive.Here's to tomorrow's challenges, which I will face like I did today's: With effort, but also resolve<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OneDayAtATime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OneDayAtATime</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SoberInCyber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoberInCyber</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Sober" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sober</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SoberFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoberFedi</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Drinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Drinking</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/KeepComingBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KeepComingBack</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NA</a>

Jordi (Flopsome Opossum)I don't have a big boffo speech or anything to celebrate 10 years of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Sobriety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sobriety</a> from alcohol. All I really want to say is that anyone can find themselves struggling with a dependency, regardless of any personal or cultural variable. And it is not a moral failing. It is a mental aberration. It is no choice. It becomes an absence of choice.If you are struggling with addiction, please know that you are not bad, you are not hopeless, and you are not alone. I could not have survived to make it to this point without other addicts helping me. You are not alone. Please, reach out. You are worth it.My gratitude is boundless. My mother continues to support me every day and is a constant source of wisdom. And without my sister taking care of me for those first 6 or so years, I would never have stuck it out. All my friends and family in recovery, especially those who we've lost along the way - I honor and cherish your deeds, words and memories.
