It's been hard. But somehow I've made it to three months sober. No drugs, no alcohol. In was around people who smoked and drank, but refrain from it. I'm rather shocked, but it's awesome.

Estrella, that is awesome. Sometimes our will power does kick in, we are given a gift that our body just rejects whatever and doesnt want it anymore. This is fabulous news! So happy for you. tc

Hi estrella,

I'm guessing it's been much more than "hard" at times
So MAJOR kudos to you!!!!
From what you've said I hope you're SO proud of how far you've come.
Many CONGRATS and RESPECT to you!!!!
