2 years sober today! I don’t feel like writing a long inspirational post, but I will say a few things. Quitting drugs has been one of the hardest things of my life....

The gratitude I have today, knowing that I have survived som**hing like that and come out a sober person, is som**hing I never underestimate or let myself forget. I am so lucky to have been given a second chance at life and to have left those days behind me. As the opioid crisis ravages our nation, leaving many families shattered and lives lost, I have no doubt that I could have been one of those casualties.
