I know and value what it means to wake up and be alive and to share my story. I'm so blessed to be here and to be able to talk about it.

I tell myself time heals. It really does.

Waking up sober is a good day. I love being able to wake up and do positive things, to go to the gym.

Why can't we all just get along?
