- This is a before & after. The first pic is of me in 2011, addicted. I was in sober living. I had just completed my first rehab and I had recently relapsed.I was pretending to be clean & happy, but addiction had it's hands around me. The after picture was at one of my best friend's wedding's in late 2017. I am free, happy. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
