I just turned 35 last month and I can’t help but think this is not where I thought I would be when I was little. Normally, I would bring myself down and beat myself up over all the things I haven’t accomplished, but not today. Today I am so grateful that, as of this moment, I woke up without cravings or withdrawal. I have over seven and a half years of sobriety and I have a family that loves and supports me. My three favorite people on the planet (my nieces) still think I’m fun and want to play with me over anyone else.
Yes, my life looks nothing like the way I imagined but I wouldn’t change a thing because I am so incredibly blessed and surrounded by love and acceptance! Thank you universe for such a gift!

I am impressed that you have done so much to turn your life around and I hope you like pleasant surprises because I think you’re going to have more than a few.
I have four yrs sobriety and I am twice your age and I am very touched by your comments about feeling lonely and I also identify with beating myself up. I think you Orr both loving and lovely and regret I can’t be there to give you a hug or words of encouragement. I certainly don’t know anyone who despot more than you Casey.
