šIntroducing Myself & Check-In š
A Message of Hope and Strength š
Hello everyone!!! šš»
Iām Kayla, and Iām truly honored to introduce myself to this incredible community. I am also truly honored to be the new Forum Supporter for this community!!!! Iāve been sober for 3 years and 7 months now, and it has been a journey full of ups and downs. But through each challenge, Iāve discovered that recovery is not just about staying cleanāitās about rebuilding yourself, finding your strength, and learning how to embrace life with a clear mind and an open heart. šŖš»š
For the past 3 years, Iāve worked in the Recovery Field, and Iām currently blessed to be part of an amazing Recovery Center. I am incredibly passionate about being there for my fellow addicts, helping them reach their goals, and just letting them know that recovery IS possible. šš»Every day, I witness the power of change, and I believe with all my heart that no matter where you are in your journey, there is always hope. You are never alone in this. š
To anyone here struggling, I want you to know that it gets better. It might not seem like it right now, but with time, support, and a commitment to your own healing, you can find your way out. I stand as proof that recovery is possible, and every small step forward is progress. The road ahead may feel long, but each day you stay sober is a victory. š
Letās continue supporting each other and sharing our stories because together, we are stronger. Iām here to listen, share, and support anyone who needs it. Letās lift each other up and remind ourselves that recovery is a gift worth fighting for. š«

@KaylaBella Hello! Thank you for doing this. I guess my word would be 'ridiculous', because I feel like a over-dramatic fool every time I go back to the bottle lol. I'm starting over on day 1 today, but I've got to start somewhere, right?
@KaylaBella Thank you for your post! My journey, to be honest, is still trying getting started. Part of me wants to give up drinking, part of me doesnāt. The desire to numb pain, together with inhibitions lowering and masking my nervousness around other people, make me feel like I need it. I wish I could find something that would feel similar. But again being honest, I donāt even really get these effects I want anymore. Iāll still drink to try to get them, but Iāll stop after a few because I just end up feeling full and yucky. So sometimes Iāll think about that beforehand and it will prevent me from drinking at all. Iām hoping the desire will just leave.
