From gilmore.girls007: beautiful kicks! @popevil saw you and @zillion with my sister this summer in Niagara Falls, NY and it was amazing! Was such an amazing and intimate experience 
. I struggle with ptsd anxiety and depression but i live to fight another day because i have a beautiful daughter and my mom and sister and nieces to live and love. In February i will be 8 years sober so if anyone out there is struggling you can do it, and you are enough. You are here for a reason and there is someone that needs you. Be the reason someone smiles today, give that stranger in front of you at the store a compliment or just say hello. You may just save their life.

sounds like you have a lot of experience of overcoming, and that is awesome. Not only with your addiction, but with your daily struggles, refocusing on the things that matter most: your family and your dear ones. It’s hard to be an overcomer and still carry so much to combat. Yes there is a strength knowing that you absolutely can do this. But there is also an exhaustion of - haven’t I already done this? Haven’t I already had my fair share of struggles? Why can’t things just be BETTER now? And that kind of relentless weight can be a lot to manage. Proud of you for continuing anyways, even when it’s gnawing and difficult.
