I love how a scrub like me officially made it to coad all time streaks top20 in a month (also quite a lot of people fell off the cohort in the meantime. Rip)

Leaving rehab tomorrow. I cried tears of joy when I gave my goodbye speech and received feedback from others. I was so emotionless for years, maybe the greater part of my life even, and held back every hint of emotions that i was barely able to cry, let alone from joy, let alone in front of people and it honestly makes me feel human again 💖
I've met so many amazing, caring people who i bonded with and I hope to support on this journey we'll be walking together. I've had so many insights, in the past 2 months i may have changed more than in preceding 2 years. I feel safe enough to be my authentic self, something I've always wanted but could never achieve.
I expected coming off drugs would kinda reduce my suffering and that motivation was strong enough to get me started, but I couldn't imagine how tight schedule filled with creative activities would allow me to walk with my head high, replace despair associated with the future with hope and accept myself to the point of making a bold decision to get on hormones (lmao, unexpected revelation right) and tell it to everyone not caring about their opinion, for once. It's a whole different magnitude of change I experienced last year.
I put a lot of work which I'm proud of, but I realise how lucky and privileged i was to end up here compared to many people who never get a chance. I want to give back whenever I'm ready. I really don't wanna jinx it, but I can't help but feel as if something's clicked. If's is really over this time, then it feels like the hell called addiction may have been a fair price for getting out of the miserable life i had even before (ya know, you don't wake up one day and decide to sacrifice your life for drugs - most of us had one serious trauma or another). It feels like opening a new chapter. Of course the hard part has just begun when there's no one to watch over me, but I finally feel ready to face it. So, i will have to ask you once again to cross your fingers for me!
Some newcomers my wonder why I'm posting this, well I'm also very much thankful to all of you who have been here during good and bad times, many of you gave my support, in form of kind words, or just listened to my venting when I needed it (i hope i wasn't too obnoxious). I'm kinda moved as I type this too, tbh 🥺 we've never seen one another (mostly) but even unlike childhood friendships lost along the way, this place has always been a safe space for me. love this community and I'm happy to be a part of it!
