Hi, I'm Angel.

After a lifelong battle with addiction and a final rock-bottom, I finally got on the road to recovery from my dependency on drugs and alcohol in 2016. 

It’s been full of ups and downs, but one thing I’ve learned is how to stay sober, so I’m compelled to share my journey with you.  This journey has taught me how to love myself, which is a lot harder than it sounds, and I want to help other addicts do the same.

Most of all, I hope this blog brings someone HOPE, because change IS possible.
