This post was so uplifting in so many ways and it's inspiring to see you how dedicated you are to your well-being and the well-being of others! I'm truly amazed:)
Your story is truly inspirational ❤️ Thank you for sharing it... And congratulations on your sobriety. I have so much empathy for people who struggle with and make the courageous decision to overcome addiction (although I realise it's something you never completely overcome, at least that's what I have been told by the people I know who have been through it)...
When I was in therapy, I learned that my goal doesn't have to be to overcome my trauma and pain, but to release the shame surrounding it because that's what was holding me back. It's just a part of me, but it's not who I am. I think it's probably similar with addiction recovery.
It’s been a truly difficult process, but I’ve been to Hell and back (metaphorically and literally speaking), so I’ve gained much needed clarity and wisdom through the experience.
It takes a lot of strength to go through the recovery process. I can't even begin to imagine... With all the stigma still surrounding addiction, it's important to celebrate and be proud of what you've endured and accomplish 🫶
It’s been tough, but overcoming addiction and no longer needing alcohol or weed to cope has been one of the most empowering experiences of my life—especially knowing some people never face this struggle.

Thank you for such nice words!
I walk through this world, not for long,
With a hope to right every wrong.
“Je laisse ma marque,” I quietly say,
As I strive, day by day,
To leave it more kind, and more strong.
This was absolutely beautiful:) <3

I think it’s never truly over
