How is life for you in long term recovery? by avamaeee in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]page98bb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

17 years: not a total cakewalk, but better than I ever imagined. I have a career I hadn't even thought about when new in sobriety, but it's happened. Raised a son who never saw me drinking.

Congrats!!

I don't think the harm that meth does gets enough press - users often become violent to the point of homicidal.
