I started my journey in recovery from alcohol in 2007, but slid backwards after severe health issues totally changed my life in 2014. After 5 surgeries and a ton of opiates, I was drinking again in no time. I figured, since I didn’t become addicted to opiates, I must not be an alcoholic…but I was very wrong. It took some time, but daily drinking crept back into my life.Being sober was phenomenal and I’m ready to be back to normal.
