Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference🖤
September is National Recovery Month. May 2, 2007 is the first day I decided to stop using drugs and alcohol. It was also my first day in rehab. It was terrifying. I had just turned 19 and most of the ppl there were twice my age. But I knew something had to change and I couldn’t continue living my life the way I had been. I hated who I had become.
Recovery is possible. You can have an INCREDIBLE life without the use of alcohol and drugs. I truly believe in breaking the stigma around addiction and showing people that there is a solution.
Im so grateful for my recovery because I wouldn’t be where I am today. Who knows if I would even be here to be completely honest. I am full of gratitude when I look at my son knowing that he’s going to have a amazing life because his mama is sober - considering what the alternative would be if I wasn’t.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey with me - because I certainly couldn’t have done this on my own.
