I don't have a big boffo speech or anything to celebrate 10 years of #Sobriety from alcohol. All I really want to say is that anyone can find themselves struggling with a dependency, regardless of any personal or cultural variable. And it is not a moral failing. It is a mental aberration. It is no choice. It becomes an absence of choice.

If you are struggling with addiction, please know that you are not bad, you are not hopeless, and you are not alone. I could not have survived to make it to this point without other addicts helping me. You are not alone. Please, reach out. You are worth it.

My gratitude is boundless. My mother continues to support me every day and is a constant source of wisdom. And without my sister taking care of me for those first 6 or so years, I would never have stuck it out. All my friends and family in recovery, especially those who we've lost along the way - I honor and cherish your deeds, words and memories.

Lots of love to you all.

It seems like a lot of people I see here need a or few lately.

If you're feeling like you might hurt yourself, please consider a helpline or even DMing me as an alternative (see profile for contact options). I may not be able to respond *immediately*, but I will read it and I will respond.

Yes, I'm just some queerdo on the internet, but sometimes that's enough to get through a hard patch. How do I know? Because if it wasn't for the kindness of some of the people on this site, I wouldn't be here today. (thank you )

You can call a peer-run warm-line for your state here: https://warmline.org/warmdir.html

If it's critical, you can go to https://988lifeline.org/ or call tel:988, but beware of the risk of possible emergency services involvement.

If you're not in the US, here's a list of crisis lines by country: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines

Check it...

I'm in your timelines trying to bring some cuteness here because I too am scared, I too am freaking out with the rest of the rational-thinking, logical humans on this platform. But as someone who's already Black, TransFemme and just simply cannot conform no way no how I'm already aware of multiple tragedies. I'm already in the thick of it and I'm not naive about any of these horrors.

And it's mentally and emotionally torturous each and every time and it's a struggle and that's what the fa wants.

Therefore ...

I can only do what makes me happy, because my very existence is Resistance. And that's all I can do right now. Others who look like me died so that i must live. And I owe them all that. Every single one.

I must live.

I must smile. I must be Cute. Because It brings me joy. *And It pisses off the fa.* And if that's My Enough, if that's my battleground, so be it. It's not as noble as standing in front of a tank, or staring down an M16 with a daisy. But every smile in even the darkest of moments can push away the clouds for one day, and for many, many people who are in the same boat, that is enough. And I pray in my heart every day that I hope it serves. #ExistenceIsResistance #YouAreNotAlone #BlackTransPride #TransPride #QueerPride #QueerRights #TransRights #JoyInTheSmallThings
