Jordi (Flopsome Opossum)<p>I don't have a big boffo speech or anything to celebrate 10 years of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Sobriety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sobriety</span></a> from alcohol. All I really want to say is that anyone can find themselves struggling with a dependency, regardless of any personal or cultural variable. And it is not a moral failing. It is a mental aberration. It is no choice. It becomes an absence of choice.</p><p>If you are struggling with addiction, please know that you are not bad, you are not hopeless, and you are not alone. I could not have survived to make it to this point without other addicts helping me. You are not alone. Please, reach out. You are worth it.</p><p>My gratitude is boundless. My mother continues to support me every day and is a constant source of wisdom. And without my sister taking care of me for those first 6 or so years, I would never have stuck it out. All my friends and family in recovery, especially those who we've lost along the way - I honor and cherish your deeds, words and memories. </p><p>Lots of love to you all.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/RecoveryPosse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RecoveryPosse</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SoberLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoberLife</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ODAAT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ODAAT</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Addiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Addiction</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/YouAreNotAlone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouAreNotAlone</span></a></p>
