Sorry for the delayed response! I guess I haven't opened the app since my post.
Truthfully, the first 7-8 months were real rough! I was an emotional wreck! I thought I was losing my mind. I didn't really get the cravings that a lot of people talk about, but maybe that's cause I knew I was headed for death if I didn't stop. I attended a funeral today and it was the first time I found myself really wanting to drink! Now I drown myself in music, nature, crochet, I talk to the birds a lot haha I just try and find beauty in things around me and keep myself busy and my mind positive! Feel free to message me if you'd like!

You're definitely right about that!
I get that. I guess that’s kinda where I ended too I knew there wasn’t another one. There couldn’t be another or I’d end up in the same predicament. What I did and still struggle with is regret for it I guess the years that I wasted by giving up, I think there’s an internal part of us that just gives up after a while and we just go with the emotions and that happen to be with substance. I encourage you to share more when you’re struggling, jumping and support others. I find that to be a big part of my recovery even on days when I’m struggling because you have experience that someone else needs. Open the app more girl we all need each other. 
Totally know what you're saying!! I will definitely make a point to open the app more
