Last night, I had the honor of celebrating my dear friend Wendy on 13 years clean. 💜
What makes this even more special is that we got clean together without ever knowing each other in active addiction. Over the last 13 years, we have learned together how to truly live life in recovery. We have learned how to laugh again, build genuine friendships, have fun, clean, and create successful lives one day at a time.
I do not just call her my friend. I call her my sister.
She is such an inspiration to so many women, including women who have not even entered recovery yet. Her story, strength, and heart show others that change is possible and that there is hope on the other side of addiction.
If two women who once struggled the way we did can completely change their lives, heal, grow, and stay clean for 13 years… so can you.
Never stop believing that recovery is possible. 💜
Recovery has given me so many gifts, but one of the greatest has been friendships like this.
And don’t worry, I asked her permission before posting this. 😊
