“Anyone that I’ve ever been close to is gone, from middle school on up. I’ve lost 11 people in the first year of the pandemic due to overdoses. I was just as bad or worse than those falling around me. I don’t fully understand what has made me change. All I know is that I wake up everyday wanting more for myself now. I didn’t even get clean when I had my daughter 14 years ago. I hate saying this but my kids came second and that made me feel like I had no emotion.”

“Children, significant others, money — in my experience, none of that will make you sober. The potential you have now is being limited. We were being stunted by our use. It blocks our way from being our best selves. It took me a long time to realize not only was I capable of so much more, but I also deserved more. I’m not sure what made me finally turn that page, but I’m so grateful I did. Life is so wild. I’m sober going on five years.”
