I'm Me :)

Hey everyone,

I'm Sarah. I'm 23 years old, and I've currently got 31 days clean. I kinda feel like I should care, but frankly I've been down this road so many times it's kind of lost it's magic, so to speak.

I've been trying to get clean for 2 years now, been using for 3. The longest amount of sober time I've managed to piece together was 66 days.

I'm addicted to anything and everything, doesn't matter what the drug. But I think something, maybe, this time...

Well, it feels different. I FEEL things I never did before, even while getting clean: regret, hope, and most of all I have things to lose. I have my sister, my relationship with my dad that's just starting to be repaired, my wonderful boyfriend...

You guys, at least for now...I feel good.

Hi Sarah. I am in the process of training myself to be grateful- it is really helping me and is different to what I have done before in my short periods of being sober.

I hope you find your way
