“I kicked a 14-year opioid habit. I’m 2.5 years off. Whether it’s pills, booze, sex, drugs…addiction is so hard. Those asking for advice: find an ‘anchor.’ My anchor is my husband and child. They keep me tethered to reality and sobriety because I want them to be proud of me (and they are, of course). I know how hard addiction is, and I am so proud of the fighters and survivors and the success stories. Keep fighting!”
