Congratulations
Today, I celebrate 28 years of sobriety. I have never been more grateful for my recovery, and yet it's a bittersweet day. You see, the day I entered treatment was my daughter's birthday. My recovery was the best gift I could have given her. As the years passed, we'd celebrate her birthday and my sobriety birthday. I have so many precious memories of those times that I take comfort from now. Growing up with an addicted parent is hard. My poor child heard, saw, and felt things no child should ever witness, but unfortunately, so many do. I was one of the lucky ones. I was forced into treatment, and despite myself, I began to get well. Thank God for that because I don't think I could live with myself if I didn't. Recovery gave my daughter the mother she needed and deserved. Recovery taught me how to love, be honest, and work hard. Recovery taught me so much more than how to stay sober; it taught me how to live. If you're struggling with addiction, please reach out because if I can get sober, you can too. The same goes for family. You can't pour from an empty cup. Please reach out. Find your community and live your best life. To everyone following this page, I dedicate this medallion to you. Your unwavering love and support have gotten me through some tough days these past two years and remind me once again that together, we are stronger.
Love and Blessings to all,
Lorelie Rozzano.
