So, I just wanted to take a moment to let you guys know that I celebrated my 3 year sobriety anniversary on the 4th of this month. It’s been a long road to get myself to where I am at now. My heroin addiction cost more than I could ever imagine and I honestly believed that it would take my life for a long time. I have spent birthdays and holidays in prison and if I am being honest the desire to cover my tracks is one (not the only one) of the reasons I chose to become so heavily tattooed. I felt trapped in my addiction and could not see a way out. I missed out on so much life and I’m so grateful that I finally get to live again. I have my daughter and we are able to travel together and see everything this world has to offer. I went back to school and am pre-law, majoring in history. If you are still struggling with an addiction just know that there is always hope. Don’t give up, you deserve a better life regardless of your past mistakes. We are human and we fuck up, but that does not change your worth. If I can do it, you can.
