This is powerful and helps me feel even more sure that recovering out loud matters. It ripples out. And, I love the idea of it being a legacy. I believe, as you said, that we do reach back in time when we recover, healing the harm alcohol caused in our lineage and it reaches forward - it’s a boomerang of healing our past and those we are raising and loving right now.
“I’m not a danger because today I have a choice: I choose not to drink, one day at a time. I’m not a danger because I have recognized my weakness...What is dangerous is to keep this a secret, to make it such that this thing, these neural pathways that formed as they formed, for whatever reason, make me less than.” Keep recovering loudly! So proud of you every day!
