I am also a recovering addict. My newest recovery date is 6/22/2015. I moved to Kentucky to get away from the life I knew in Austin, TX in June of last year. Needless to say, I have been gaining weight now for over a year. I've put on 70lbs and have never been this big in my life. I am ready to start making some healthier choices and would love some likeminded friends to talk to and help support.5
