Andrea Russett Instagram – what a year it’s been. never did i ever imagine my journey would include going to rehab… multiple times. but i’m thankful i found the courage and bravery to do so. this last year includes a lot of other things but i want to focus on my journey of getting sober. it was so fucking scary to admit that i needed rehab and that this “issue” wasn’t something i could fix on my own. i’m so thankful that i dug deep and found the courage and bravery to commit to a program and see it through, everytime i went. i knew nothing about rehab, or what i was signing up for. but i was met with the kindest, most understanding strangers who are now life long friends. to be surrounded by people who you don’t know at all, yet understand such a deep and scary part of yourself because they too live it was so healing. i want to dedicate my “end of the year” post to everyone still struggling in silence. i hope you know that you don’t have to live that way. there is a way out, and it’s a lot less scary than your brain is convincing you it is. it’s not easy, but it’s worth it. thank you for sticking by me, encouraging me, and believing in me. i’m no where near where i want to be in my sobriety, but everyday i get the chance to get closer, and i’d choose that over spending another day blacked out at 10am everytime. we do heal. we do recover. and best of all, we have each other to lean on. i love you 🥺♥️
