Congrats you two.. Just made it past 9 months after 10 years of intermittent long term sobriety and relapse. It was so hard to make it back after going out, 10/10 do not recommend.
7 of those months I've been working at a homeless shelter, and I'm halfway through earning my EMT certification! I'm going to become a Paramedic/Firefighter, come hell or high water.
Someone mentioned the opposite of addiction is connection and I 100% believe that. Being connected to others who are passionately serving their fellows has massively changed my outlook on life, spirituality, what love means, and what my purpose is. I have a purpose now. It seems you do to, and Im proud of you!
