Women for Sobriety – Sober is the new black!
On October 25, 2015, I vowed to get sober! Who knew that I would ever be an advocate for sobriety!! 639 days later I am STILL sober!!! Sobriety is not something that you hear of often and with it comes a stigma. I didn’t ever think that I would ever become sober or that I would […]
