I know I'll always be an alcoholic...

But that doesn’t mean I’m always going to drink. This time last year, I was out of control. My life was horrible. I was always drinking and doing drugs. But now, I’m in a really, really good place for the first time in 15 years. I can’t wait for the day I can say I’ve been sober for a year.

One day at a time.

Note: This concludes Melessa’s blog. We followed her over the course of a two and a half month period as she courageously shared her story. Come back soon for a post-blog discussion. What did Melessa think? What did you think? We’d love to hear from you.

Thanks for reading!
