I've returned to work, in a completely different field, unfortunately for much lower money, and I'm living in a boarding house for people with mental illness. But it's a good place and it's affordable. I've been sober for a bit over 4.5 years and I love my new sober life. It's hard but it is possible to completely rebuild.
Thank you for sharing your story! You are very courageous and strong to have turned your life around in such a positive way! Your story is very inspiring. Good for you for sticking to sobriety - congrats!!!
