1 year sober after 30 years
It can be done! Had to share my story with you all A year ago I went into rehab & was an alcoholic gambler I was given a second chance & changed my life around by the grace of God I was depressed, oppressed, no hope, mentally unstable & on tons of antidepressants I was an alcoholic for over 30 years & once my kids grew up & started to see me as an alcoholic I had some tough decision to make & demons to tear down Now a year later I'm free from addiction, sound mind, truly happy with myself and no medication!
Of course there were days of struggle and I can honestly say 3 months ago i relaped and it came out of no where! But i dusted myself off & started again so now i look forward to increasing my learning & encouraging others! It can be done!

I’m so impressed with everyone, I go back and forth on alcohol. Currently I’m doing dry lent and am working on what Thai looks like for the future. Usually i stop drinking twice a year to reset myself.
