A Lifetime of Growth

July 26, 2019

In 6 days I leave for Bellwood where I will receive support and help to confront, accept, and begin to heal some pretty big issues that were exposed at Homewood.

It will be life changing. I am no longer afraid.

7 months ago, I wanted to die, feeling alone, afraid, and hopeless. Today, I want to live, and not just live, but flourish. I want to realise my dreams.

I am beginning to see I do not need others’ approval nor sell my soul for their acceptance.

I am who I am and that is all I ever want to be, with all my quirks, strengths, and perfect imperfections.

As I said, I have come far, and have a lifetime to go.

I am reclaiming my life from meth and toxic people, and it feels amazing.

I left the hateful rhetoric of Facebook to come here to carry a message of hope and healing I'm in recovery from addiction and rebuilding a life filled with purpose and creativity. Whether I'm playing the piano, baking, gardening, or knitting, I’ve found healing in the simple, meaningful moments. Buzz Kill Diaries is where I share honest reflections on recovery - one day at a time.
