Here is what 826 days sober looks like. Left is me June 11th 2014, on the right is me today. Recovery is possible!

You think that no one knew, believe me they knew. They knew that the sweet, kind mother, daughter and friend wasn't the same, they knew something changed and yes, they thought the worst....drugs. we're always the last to find out. Recovery is a daily reprieve from who we were and if your not doing today what you were doing when you first got clean then we end up playing with fire, I've been to rehab 5 times so I'm just telling you what happened to me. I got well, got things and stuff back and thought I could handle this, I'll stop whenever I want, it will be different this time and it never was. I always ended up in the same places with the same type of people and then I was out of control once again. Today I have over 15 years clean and sober and I did it one day at a time. But this time I stayed close to meetings, the fellowship and a relationship with my higher power! I hope you have your daughter back and never have her away from you again. You are an inspiration and you just made my week! Stay strong and may you give back what was freely given to you! God bless...
