Dogs are fiercely loyal; they endure the hardships of Life alongside us, without judgment, without pause. During my darkest times my dog was there - a constant study presence offering love even when I felt unworthy. Most people wouldn't choose recovery over loyalty, but dogs don't ask questions; they simply walk with you through the storm. My journey in recovery is intertwined with the bond I share with my dog teaching me patients, trust, and unconditional love. At bond has been a lifeline, a teacher, and a mirror for my own resilience, showing me that honoring and maintaining loyalty through recovery is possible and profoundly transformative.
