Lilly's Path to Peace: Embracing Sobriety at 26
I'm so thankful that I got to live there, and so I move out and so I'm sober. And an emotional relapse is so scary and I just became just a super dry drunk again because there's periods when I was not in a like, not in recovery, when I'd be dry and I like I would do some zoom meetings, but I'd turn off the camera and not listen.
