It’s that time of year again. May the 10th. I look to this date every year & I mark the occasion with a tweet, or in the instance of 2 years ago, a thread. I don’t do it to be self congratulatory, or for praise or adulation. I do it because to me, it’s important that I remember.. https://twitter.com/scottylar/status/994448756820119552
..It’s important that I remember how far I’ve come & how much I’ve grown as a person. Every year since 2013, with the exception of maybe the first two years that I was sober, I’ve reclaimed my life. Is that the right word? ‘Reclaimed’? I’m not sure...
..but it’s the most apt word that I can think of right now. My personality, my interests, my sense of humour, for so long distorted or dissipated by the perpetual craving for alcohol, have all returned. Some took longer than others, but it all seems to have come back...
..with the addition of one or two new hobbies or interests that you might all now be aware of 
The truth is, I’m happier now than I’ve ever been before in my life. I no longer dwell on the past, my focus is very firmly on the present & hopefully, the many years to come
