Hello Iā€™m an alcoholic, mother to 2 boys, wife of 11 years, and I love caffeine. I stay home, cook and clean, and donā€™t do much else. I love nature and find myself staring at the stars often. I donā€™t know what todayā€™s Hollywood stars are doing but I love watching the news and weather. I live in South Carolina USA. Good luck to you and to me. :wink:

Welcome to you then @Tacomama1986 hope you find inspiration, there is a lot of good people on here. I had to reset my clock today but Iā€™m not giving up. :wink:

Hi my name is Michelle I have been battling with addiction since the age of 13. Addiction runs heavy on both sides of my family along with mental health I have experienced a lot of trauma throughout my youth and early adulthood. Substances came into play at 13 and did not stop until I was completely broken I had bouts of recovery for about two years two different times and I have always done it to please other people besides myself. Today I have 96 days clean and for the first time in my life Iā€™m doing it for nobody else besides me I have struggled and have had periods where I wanted to die and I never want to live that way again. Today I am so grateful for the little things in life that I could never see before that I donā€™t ever want to lose the peace and the serenity that I have. I will continue to do what I am doing to grow and to be the mother that I know I can be and that I was put here to be.
