I just realized that 730 days is 365x2. That’s two years clean, a very big milestone, BH. 
BH. 

Life isn’t a bed of roses. In fact I have been dealing with a number of major Nisyonos that have taken place and continue to take place, and I struggle with them internally as well as outwardly. 

However, the internal joy that I have inside from the sense of Tahara that I’ve developed from being clean has changed my life, and given me strength and clarity and a wellspring of Koach that I would not otherwise have.

Because being clean is not just about stopping to feel sick about what was wrong. It’s about how so, so, much in my internal spiritual and emotional life is better from this place that I’m now in, BH. Everything looks different from here.
I’ve written about it in a lot of different ways in this thread and others. 

I don’t think life ever stops being filled with challenges. That’s why we are here. But the rewards of being clean - long term - are abundant. 

Im thankful to be here, thankful for this special gift, and thankful to all of you.

If you’re hanging on at the beginning of your journey and wondering if the long-term gain is worth it. If you’re not feeling how 30,40, or even 90 days makes a difference in the ongoing battlefield of life, I take this moment to tell you, friend, that from this man’s perspective it’s worth hanging on. You owe it to yourself to see what you can be. The difference comes with time, and it’s worth it.
