id like to say hi

Hi, I'm Zoe, sober since 5th June after 3 detoxs and a 3 month stay in a rehab centre. I completed my treatment on the 4th September but I still have a lot of work to do. Ever since I came back into the community I've done nothing but crave but I'm keeping myself busy with buying bits and bobs for my new house which I move into next week and I see my children once a week and go to after care meetings.
