My friends,
On this final day of my
addictions advocacy work, I wanted to take the time to say thank you for being
part of my journey and for allowing me to be a part of yours. Since I announced
my retirement from advocacy work earlier in the month, I’ve received some
beautiful messages that really touched my heart. This whole journey has been filled with
beautiful connections with people that I will treasure for the rest of my life.
Thank you for walking with me.
Though I am writing this final
good-bye with tears in my eyes, my heart is happy. I am looking forward to what
the next phase of my life will bring. I’m ready to take on new challenges and to
create great memories with my family.
If you are in a battle with an
addiction (yours or a loved one’s), please don’t ever give up. Recovery is possible for everyone. There are
no lost causes. Where there is life, there is hope.
I wish you all the best in
2016!
With love and appreciation,
Rose
