In 11 days I will be 1 year sober!! This year has been super wild! I have done so much truama and healing work over the last year. But its paying off so big now! Next Tuesday I have an interview for a youth advocacy position at a youth shelter in my town! You have no idea how badly I want that job! I want to help. I cant sit back and watch the world burn and keep this anger in. I have to protest. I have to volenteer. I was abused growing up. I know how terrible it feels to be in it. I want to be a person to help them. I need to give back everything I took from the world in my addiction. I need a job that makes me feel like I’m doing something! Anyways just wanted to share

Aw thank you! I just had to get through the healing, pain and suffering sober to go to here. It has been a year and I’m already here. Makes me wonder what else I can accomplish if I just try and put the work in! This whole process has inspired me to keep trying to be better. I don’t want to ever settle for what I did for way too long!
Yep. Getting sober motivated me to do more. I thought 'dam, if I'm capable of getting here, I feel like a lot of things are possible'. And they have been.
That's so awesome. You keep up the great work.
Thank you for sharing, Rylee. It is so admirable that you want to help others and be there for them

Recovery teaches you that your past doesn’t define you, your choices today do. Congrats!!!
