About Me

Im a 26 year old recovering alcoholic whose determined to show others in my age range ( or any age really) that your life doesnt end just because you dont drink or do drugs. I know that addiction is difficult no matter what you're age, but Ive learned from personal experience how hard it can be as a young adult. While the heavy alcohol and drug use began in my early 20's all the events that led up to it started at 15. At this point in time I have been sober for 2 years, and plan to go to school to become an addictions counselor. I searched for a site where you could communicate with others in recovery, or anyone who just needs someone to talk to, so here I am.I dont think it helps that I live in the state with the most bars per capita in the US. Smack dab in the middle of our wonderful state is a city called Wausau, which has the largest number of bars in a single city. Am I proud to call it my hometown no, but the longer Ive been sober, I find alot of things I really enjoy doing and the bar scene fades away. I do also have some health problems. I was diagnosed at 16-17 with Crohnes disease, and Polycystic ovarian disease, and at 20 with Interstitial Cystitis.
