Waking up and not having to reach for the bottle anymore is the most incredible feeling of all time. I’ve begun my outpatient which will be about 3 months and will continue with aftercare at the rehab I was at once a week. 90 meetings in 90 days, still need a sponsor but working on that.

I want to share that, just as it was told to me by many amazing people here at SR, there IS hope and a future that is so bright and clear and exciting... please don’t give up! Fight for yourself! Love yourself even if it’s just enough to get help or put the bottle down. It’s beyond worth it and I know it’ll just keep getting better and better!

Much love, thanks & support to everyone here!!!
