My journey so far

Recovery

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a little bit about my journey. A while ago, I went through a tough breakup with my ex-boyfriend, and it really hit me hard. During that time, I found myself turning to alcohol and cigarettes as a way to cope with the pain and heartbreak. At first, it felt like a temporary escape, but over time, it became a cycle that was hard to break.

But I realized that these coping mechanisms were only making things worse in the long run. So, I made a decision to take control of my life and stop drinking and smoking. It's been a year now, and I’m proud to say that I’ve come a long way.
This journey has taught me a lot about resilience, self-love, and the importance of community. I’m here because I believe in growth and connection, and I’d love to get to know others who are on a similar path.

Thank you for letting me share a piece of my story. Looking forward to connecting with you all.
