One of the groups I was introduced to this recovery was SMART Recovery out at Nepean hospital. I learnt so much during my time within SMART Recovery… for anyone who hasn’t heard of these groups I strongly encourage you to check them out!

Thank you Sav for planting the seed of another life in my head! Sav sat me down in my lounge room all those years ago and told me about William booth house a rehab he had gone to. 6 weeks later I was in my first detox. Giving recovery go for the very first time. Took me several stints and several years for the penny to finally drop. Today I am almost 9 years clean of meth and it’s because someone took a chance to share their story with me! #grateful #rooftop #myrecovery #recoveryispossible #recovery
What a journey this new addiction of mine has become! Close to 80% of work completed only half my leg to go! It has been a journey of pain and healing all in one… every single tattoo on me has a meaning of some kind… the latest being the lady behind the lioness face… as we all know who is the most fiery at the end of the day a lioness… two doves for my parents…. and a compass for the traveling I will continue to do! #tattoo #legsleeve #addiction
My dealer told me bout rehab… the messages from the universe can appear in the strangest ways! #messages #RecoveryJourney #RecoveryIsPossible

Day out with Glen
Had the best day with Glen Fisher as always I was running late! But honestly I love what Glen does with the Leg Up Project and doing the best he can with helping others!
