On February 28th I will be 2 years sober!
I am so thankful that I kept trying…. my many attempts before 2020 failed miserably. Who knew that I would be strong enough to keep on my path of sobriety during the craziness of a pandemic, but I did it! I’m so grateful for the support I received from rehab, my husband, my friends, and all of the Spirits that guide and protect me.
I had been given drugs and alcohol by my traffickers starting when I was a pre-schooler, and it became a part of the sexual abuse I endured for the next ten years. I took the baton from them, and I never stopped using.
I’m still learning to truly feel feelings; to let my mind and body process emotions and situations that I would mask and drown out prior to this. It is definitely a process, but it is beyond worth it!
I’m a participant and a witness to my life now.
My path out of the fog of drug abuse has been muddy at times, rocky at times, and I’ve been slapped in the face with a branch or two, but I hope that my perseverance helps you know that if I can do it, you can definitely do it too!
After all, every moment is a chance for change, an occasion for growth, and an opportunity to love yourself.
Be safe, healthy, and well!
All my best,
Adira
