Hi everyone reading this,
I’m really grateful to have found this community. I came across the Recovery Collective through Facebook, and I already feel like it’s going to be an important part of my journey.
My relationship with alcohol started in my late teens. At first, it was just occasional drinks with friends, but over the years, it became something I depended on daily. I used it to cope with stress, sadness, and even moments of joy. Things hit rock bottom last year when I missed my niece’s birthday because I was too drunk to show up. That moment was a turning point for me.
On September 2, 2023, I decided to stop drinking. It hasn’t been easy, but I’m committed to making a change. I’m here to learn from all of you, share my progress, and hopefully contribute to this amazing community in return.
Thank you to everyone who’s part of this space for making it such a welcoming and supportive place. I’m looking forward to connecting with others and finding strength in this journey together.
