2025: More Than My Recovery

I’m enjoying life a lot more, my girls are coming to my place a lot more then when I was drinking all the time.

I know who that person is in the mirror! I get to do the things I love and be around loved ones without feeling anything but love!!

I also get to be apart of my kids’ lives which is the greatest gift of my recovery.

Recovery has given me the most amazing life. I was homeless during part of my active addiction. Now I own my own home…nothing fancy…but its mine.

My joy comes from living a life that I no longer want to numb.

My passion for reading has turned into a wonderful opportunity of reading for a network that helps others. I am now two years into my volunteer work and absolutely love it!

I’ve started scuba diving in my old age.

I was able to have my grandbabies for 2 1/2 weeks and that would not have been possible if I not gotten clean and sober.

In the first six months of sobriety I have restored my relationships with my family and friends, fallen in love with my sober partner, thrived in my career and gotten plugged back in with communities I enjoyed before my addiction.
