I just wanted to remind anyone struggling right now, that this is a big undertaking. You're brave for trying to regain your life back from whatever it was you were trading it in for. We were all licked before we begun, but we began anyway. And that's amazing.
You all inspire me to stay sober everyday. Thank you.
Thank you for your post. I am having a hard time getting past a week. It hurts when I am told I am not trying when they don't know that I fight everyday. We fight everyday. Fight for our real lives.
