@kabelomabalane: Today, 24 years ago, I put down alcohol and cocaine
and somehow, picked up a life. Not a perfect life. Not always an easy one. But a real one.
And the beautiful privilege of being present for my own life. 24 years of waking up without wondering what I said, what I did, or who I offended the night before. And today, as I celebrate, my heart is especially with those who are still struggling. To the person still caught in the chaos. To the one who keeps promising tomorrow will be different. To the one who is tired, ashamed, frightened, and wondering if they have gone too far. You haven’t!! Please know this: there is a life on the other side of addiction that you may not be able to imagine yet. I couldn’t see mine either. You are not your worst day. You are not the things addiction made you do.
There is no shame in needing help.
There is no failure in starting again.
And there is no expiration date on hope. Someone, somewhere, is living a life today
they once thought was impossible. I am one of them. I am deeply grateful for the people who walked beside me and the quiet miracles that happen one day at a time. 24 years sober.
Still learning. Still laughing. Still growing.
Still taking it one day at a time. Here’s to another 24 years. 🥂
(Yes, that’s sparkling water.) ❤️👊🏿 #graceupongraceupongrace #Romans517

Big ups O.G. Rea Kgothala le rona ba bangwe. I Quit Cigarettes almost 4 years ago, never thought I would, but I constantly kept praying to God to help me and then, a miracle happened. It wasnt easy but then everytime I bought a gwai, I couldnt finish smoking it, until I saw that not only I was wasting my lungs away, I was wasting money too. Then woke up one day and said, enough is enough. I'm 4 years clean from nicotine and 1 year clean from Zol. I'm just leaving the rest to God. He then fights the battle for me. Thank you Grootman, it's Possible.... 🙏💯

"Being completely present in your own life" is such an underrated thing. Its an amazing feeling which I took for granted for years until I stopped drinking alcohol. Here's to the next 24 years! 🙌🤙🏿 (With a protein and creatine shake)
