From Isolation to Inspiration: Gayle Macdonald's Sobriety Story

Being strong is recognizing when something doesn't feel good or doesn't feel right or isn't true to myself, and standing up for it in that moment, or saying no thank you, or just choosing speaking my truth or whatever little thing in the day so that you're right that I'm not ready to blow a gasket by the end of the day.
