I see it in you so I know there is HOPE, but its a lot of grief and work to get there. Im so proud of you, for getting to this day but to also be BRAVE enough to talk about it. I follow you to understand the pain that my daughter suffers from this addiction and I know that it is up to her to choose a new path, YOUR proof to me that it can be done. Thank you for sharing. and HUGS for a getting on the sober path of happiness, you are so worth it as is my daughter she just has to believe it.CCdeckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11749691742564535316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496458200245645063.post-16025784494097683042017-04-12T05:25:51.945-07:002017-04-12T05:25:51.945-07:00I love this post!
