I know who I have been. I know who I can be

I know who I have been. I know who I can be. And that’s exactly why I chose differently. Because I know who I never want to be, again. I know who I am and I know who I was. I have never forgotten… August 30th 2022, my husband Daniel, the father of my children, died alone in a porta potty on his job site, of a fentanyl overdose. I have not used since that devastating day. Today, I have 14 months sober. I’m here to tell you, that even in the darkest of times, recovery is possible❤️ I plan to see this on through for the both of us❤️ it would be a tragedy to lose myself now.
”When I looked at her I saw a thousand empty rooms and in each one, there she was, strangling a ghost. Nothing is quite as stunning as the heavy knuckled hand of a girl who has spent her life, beating demons into the ground.”
(Picture of Daniel and I right before we went into rehab about 40 days before he passed and me now, 14 months sober)
