What if I Told You?

A note to myself.

By Megan WozencroftPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

What if I told you...

What if I told you that night at the bar, tomorrow would be your first day sober?

What if I told you, you wouldn’t carry the shame, guilt, anger, and pain anymore?

What if I told you, you will be able to look at yourself in the mirror every day?

What if I told you, you don’t have to carry that secret?

What if I told you, the next person you tell will believe you?

What if I told you, your story matters?

What if I told you, your support system will be bigger than you can imagine?

What if I told you, God is still listening?

What if I told you, you will find your voice?

What if I told you? Would you believe me?

Eighteen months ago you would have laughed, as you took another drink.

I never told you it would be easy, but I know it’s been worth it.
