I think that I realized it, you know, that's hard to put a finger on because it was almost like a collective knowing all of a sudden, but it only came the day that I was almost at rock bottom, that I was at rock bottom, that I realized, holy shit, I can just make a decision right now, right? And just the collective memory of the first couple of years of being out, just like,

knowing that i wasn't what i was supposed to be right and that i was not even close to to figuring that out like it just felt like it was getting worse over time and it was um so there wasn't really like a pinpoint moment but you know there was things i was doing there was you know in my marriage, with my kids, and the addictions that I had just compounded on each other.
