Change is constant. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not............but change is possible

What changes are you trying to make?

[ScorpionPW]

Hi @Serenity111, thanks so much for sharing.

I remember when I first got into recovery, even though it was scary and unknown, there was a sense of liberation at getting freedom from my addiction and everything changing.

It would be great to know more about the changes you're saying hello to
