Cheers to the first of many ✨☺️

But I wanted to come on here and just kind of like tell my story in hope to reach the next person who's also struggling or who has struggled with alcoholism. So I am almost a year into my sobriety and I'm really excited to just be here and just share this with everyone. So you all bear with me because it's not like I'm nervous, but once again, the overthinking I have to get out of my head. So bear with me

Hey, Cheniece. Welcome to swell. I wanted to make sure I answered this because I am so aware of life in that first year of sobriety and how much community means and how much our stories mean to us. And I'm just so moved by the serendipity of you finding Swell. It's a place where people really connecting around all sorts of topics and addiction, and sobriety is one of them. Mental wellness for sure

But I am thankful for this space because I'm not necessarily sure I want to get in front of a camera to share my story. But this space is so beautiful. It's so discreet, but so open at the same time. So people like you that find comfort in the things that I will be sharing means everything to me. I'm going to check out some of your stuff as well. And like I said, thanks again in
