I’m writing this on my graduation date here at Back2Basics. I have been here for 6 months. Looking back on my stay it flew by quickly. It feels like I just got here yesterday. The days went slow, but weeks and months fly by. The time I’ve spent here is priceless and minimal in the big scheme of things. I have learned to love and trust my community. I’ve also learned how to be happy with myself and to be grateful with life. All of these things I never thought could ever happen. I have learned acceptance and surrender… both to key parts of sobriety that are hard to deal with, but are also huge parts of everyday life. As I reflect on my time here at Back2Basics I am truly grateful for my time here, the opportunities to learn how to live sober, the outdoor adventures and the sober community whom I call friends.
