Today I am 33 years old and I have 10 years clean. My life has changed so much in recovery for the better and I know that the longer that I stay clean the greater life can get. I would not change a thing, not even my past. The past has allowed me to build on top of those experiences and have the strength to find hope and bring hope to others seeking. Being young and in recovery has shown many other young people that there is life after addiction, without the pressure of our peers and we can have fun in it, we just have to make it.
