Recovery

By: Anonymous

I have been sober for the last 8 months and I am proud of myself. On top of not drinking, I have finally been able to let go of smoking cigarettes. I have been crying so much lately because I can’t believe that I have been able to let go of drinking. I have been able to work consistently again, I’ve made new friends and beginning to have a social life again, and I feel like I can think clearer. I’m sorry, I know my post doesn’t sound as deep or exciting as the others I’ve read on here, but I just wanted to share my moment. -AJ

Never feel like your story is too small or too minor to share with us, because we love to hear it all.
