"I'm doing this thing called nursing where I microdose trauma until I am mentally ill" - a truly sad representation of our times.

Our message is hope and the promise is freedom.
Any one can lose the desire to drink or to use, no one is too broken to have a change of heart & find a new way to live.

2/3) What was once my mess is now my story. My mess... and it was a fu#%ing cluster screwup of a mess, has become my message.
September is Recovery Month and I'm posting this, as others have, to show those that it is possible, that there is hope.

Truly troubling times...
