My wake up call was seeing my best friend at her wake who had OD'd on heroin. I realized just bc its a prescription doesn't make it okay for out of control fun time or not dealing with life fun. Now that I have stepped back from the situation I can see how this was long overdue coming. I'm remembering to take it one day at a time and to not crucify myself if I mess up because i can always start over again.
