One year ago I was fresh out of an emotionally abusive relationship and hadn't been sober in close to a year. I was just barely out of homelessness, hadn't had a job in half a year, and i was going nowhere fast. On a whim I enrolled in a school that I never imagined I would complete. Fast forward to today, I'm a graduate of my massage therapy program, and I passed my licensing exam a few hours ago, and I'm on my way to a rewarding career in a field I'm passionate about. I'm no longer living with my mother and have cut ties with those who were weighing me down, and I'm even in a relationship that makes me happy. I'm even sober! Today marks an incredible accomplishment in my life, and I'm starting my life.
