Just wanted to say everyone that in here I’m proud

Just wanted to say to everyone in here I’m proud of you all if nobody told you so. It’s not easy getting and staying sober. I myself was sober for a few years but relapsed after my son died. And it took me 4 years to come clean again because I have not grieved properly. I checked myself into a 28 day detox/rehab back in may of last year after a bad break up and toxic binge use. I went home and after a month relapsed again because I wasn’t ready. Then I finally quit my job checked myself back into a 28 day rehab in October and then completed. I decided instead of going home to transfer into a long term program that I have flexibility to do things on my own. I sit here now going back to school for 2 different things and working towards getting an apartment with my roommates because we have supported each other through this journey. I say this because if you don’t feel inspired or feel down about a relapse don’t. Be proud that you are still here and have the chance to make your life better and enjoyable again. I’ve lost about 6 ppl I know in the last two months due to overdose, and 3 months ago 3 in one week. There’s fentanyl in a lot of things out there right now and the next time you use could be your last. Hopefully that gave some of you a reason to stay. Because it is giving me one. Have a wonderful and sober weekend everyone.
