I love it because I was welcomed with open arms when I went there. Um, the first time I went, I waas straight out of high school. That didn't work out because I'm a recovering drug addict. I've been sober for almost three years, and I like to tell people in recovering drug addict, because I used to be ashamed of it. I used to be ashamed of who I was, where I came from, but I'm not anymore because I'm proud of my journey. I'm not proud of the things I did, or you know, the person I waas. I'm proud of the journey that got me to where I am today, because when I look in the mirror, I'm proud of the person I look back at. She has worked hard to get where she is, and you should be, too.
