For a long time I thought no one would understand. People looked at me like I was a problem to be solved, not a person.
When I reached out to Cleanslate, the first thing they did was listen. No lectures, no shame. They helped me understand that what I was going through was a health condition, and that recovery was possible.
It has not been a straight line. There were setbacks. But each time, there was someone reminding me that a setback is not the end. Today I am rebuilding my life, one day at a time.
If you are where I was, please know this: you deserve help, and it is out there.
