overcoming addiction & alcohol: how i got sober 💪🏼❤️

I want to open up about something close to my heart – my journey to overcoming addiction and alcoholism. It wasn’t an easy road, but looking back, I’m proud of how far I’ve come. For years, I felt trapped, relying on substances to cope with life’s ups and downs. But in June 2022, I made the choice to take back control and start healing and went to treatment. 🙏🏼

Here are a few things that helped me along the way:

🧘‍♀️ Seeking Support: I reached out to others and found a community that reminded me I wasn’t alone in this battle.

✨ Self-Love: I learned to prioritize my mental, physical, and emotional well-being, rediscovering what it means to truly care for myself.

🚶‍♀️ Small Steps: Recovery isn’t a straight path, but I celebrated every win – no matter how small – because progress is progress.

💬 Speaking Up: Talking about my struggles took away their power. Sharing my story was healing and opened the door to new connections with others on a similar journey.

To anyone out there struggling, please know that you are worthy of healing, happiness, and hope. I’m living proof that it’s possible to overcome and recover. 💜
