That's so inspiring and wonderful and frankly you got to things really early in life. Good for you! I spent a lifetime fighting addictions and freed myself from the last one 5 months ago. Sober sober is the best and most joyous way to live!
Thank you for sharing this. I relate so much but with a very different story. I have recently found myself single again after being in a relationship the last 4 years. It’s been so hard adjusting back to doing certain things alone again. When I was 19 I got pregnant and had my son by 20. I lost pretty much all my friends by the time I was 23. And had to start trying to make new friends, sooo hard as an adult sometimes. I used to go to dinner & a movie alone for alone time all the time and I LOVED it. After the breakup The idea of that initially me sad but I have been following your account the last 6 months since it happened and I have to tell you that you lit a fire in my soul to remind me of how special and exciting life can be even when we are just with ourselves. And just appreciating the simplest things we do even an art or home project. I luckily have my son for at least a few more years at home with me before he graduates but I don’t fear my future solo life anymore the way I did before. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing this!!! You are one of my absolute favorite accounts and inspired so many things I’ve done in my house ❤️ happy 7 years sober !!!!
Sobriety is highly underrated. Congratulations on yours. I have always enjoyed time with just myself. I never ate alone or traveled solo until I was tasked with doing just that for my employer…a LOT! While I’m not good with hotel living, I worked around the anxiety and rolled with it. I never traveled anywhere exotic, but the experience of seeing other parts of the US was fun.

Thanks for sharing, Chelsea. Congratulations on all your years of sobriety. I can picture you reading your book and eating your burger. :-)
