I love recovery. I love everything I am today. If I'm struggling, even if it's in the darkest hours while I'm sober, I would never want to look back and continue drinking or using substances because my life is good today. I'm a daughter. I'm a wife. I'm a sister. I'm a productive member of society. It's a great feeling.
