My Story
Our experience: everyone finds their own path to mental wellness, recovery, sobriety, sanity. There is no map. There is no path, no solution, no answer, no cure which works for everyone.
Which makes talking about getting well somewhat difficult – especially if you are really sick and expect doctors to cure you.
The following are stories of wellness and success at retrieving life, liberty and pursuing happiness.
