A stranger who changed your life
I wish I could remember his name, and I wish I could remember where he does meetings. I know he's based in Tom's River in New Jersey, somewhere in that area, but I just want to say thank you to him. Even though I don't know who he is, he really hit home with what he said because that made me realize that I was doing all this not only because of trauma, because I didn't love myself. I did not love myself one bit

So I know it's not an instance of recovery, but me being around folks in recovery, it kind of helped me. And now I see some of those clients all the time around my area, and I say hi.

I used to always have my sneakers in detox when I was cleaning and whatnot. So over time, that just became a part of my reputation. Yeah. I would not want to work in detox again, though. That's almost 20 years of my life

Hey. So this was my first post that I was talking about. And if you listen to it, you hear that in one of the detoxes, I was in one of my turning points that, like, kind of sort of changed
