Hi! My name is Connie! Today I am 4 months and 4 days sober! I love being sober! I love helping others stay sober! Being an addict in recovery is the most beautiful blessing God has ever helped me achieve! We lost our oldest son to addiction in March of 2023. I gave him a pinky promise that we would quit drugs while he was still alive. It was a crazy, depressing journey but I’m finally here! I have learned how to love myself again! My self confidence needs more work, but I’m getting there! One day at a time! God helped me to see that I could save more lives sober. I still have issues to figure out, but with God’s help I’m getting there. ❤
