Raymell’s Road to Sobriety: A Story of Hope and Resilience
I remember when I hit Days and I thought, wow, I don't, you know, I don't know that I've been that sober for that long. You know I mean for me when I was young, but I remember I had a certain age where my parents were, you know, kind of doing their thing, kind of hitting it hard, kind of being in the streets, and they figured the best thing for me would be to have me go live with my grandparents, you know. And that was kind of a game changer for me.
