6 years, 11 Months, 21 Days in Recovery 💪🏻

I have to pinch myself sometimes and remind myself that the hard work got me. The hard work is paying off. We’re never truly “recovered”, each day I have to continue working on being the best version of myself. ❤️‍🩹

Recovery is possible. Even at 7 years it’s still a day at a time. You can make it out of the darkest of places and use me as a testament. 🫶🏻 it’s hard to think back and even believe the things I did or the person I used to be. 

Now, I get to travel the world skiing and photographing places I only ever dreamed of being able to go to. Dreams do come true. It works if you work it 🤘🏼
