A Dogs Love Can Have Healing Powers
A dog can be your best friend while in recovery. I just read an article about The Role of Assistance Dogs in Recovering from Substance Abuse. Individuals in recovery from drug dependence can find alternative methods such as through emotional support animals, animal-assisted therapy, and service dogs.

Sobriety is the greatest gift I’ve ever gave myself! I will never forget my sobriety date: October 25th. Why? Because it’s my husbands birthday.

Sober Up Buttercup!
Learning to live Sober… I never thought that I would end up sober. I never thought I would end up needing to get sober. How did it happen?
