She's my neighbour! Happy to update that she is doing wonderfully now!

[mrselfesteem]

She did not simply “run away”. I cannot imagine the possibilities of occurrences that happened during those days, bless her

[shawnastephens]

When she was feeding those ducks I just wanted to cry. You can tell she has a tender sweet heart. It's like the ducks just were all around her and didn't care she was a addict.

It brings literal tears to my eyes to see people accept help and get better. When they do follow up visits months later and you see the physical change, as well as the mental change it makes me so happy for them. She is such a sweetheart and I’m so glad she’s doing better. That’s why you never give up on people.

Reminds me of my on and off girlfriend, calls me at 2am out on the street, violent temper crack cocaine, meth, leaves for days on end, sees shadows and believes in weird things. I myself struggle with alcohol myself. Just this weekend I took 6 trazadone I was in a hole.

I might go to rehab this coming monday for 30-90 days. I was clean for 8 months before I know I can do it

[michellewinn]

I'm so glad they both got help. The life came back to their eyes. I hope the same happens for me although I don't have the opportunity for intensive rehab. I have to fight this myself - alcohol is the worst drug because it's so socially acceptable.

June 3rd I hit 9 years sober. Blows my mind every year to say I'm 7 years sober, or to say I'm 8 years sober. But now to actually say I'm 9 long years sober is just amazing. It's been a long road for me, and I can't tell you how many times I've came super close to falling.

I suffer depression really bad. It was really bad when I wasn't working. So holding down a job helps out huge. But I highly doubt the Depression will ever go away. Not only have I been 9 years sober. But I've also been 9 yrs single and live alone for all of these yrs. Being alone for all these years is what brought on the depression really bad.

I love how people like to say to me, have patience, and my time will come. Well maybe that's ok to hear them say that when your 2 or 3 years single. But it's been 9 years, and nothing good has came my way. So that's definitely something I don't care to hear anymore.

So here's exactly what I learned to do. I learned to "Accept"
I have finally came to a point in my life where I'm ok with never finding a girlfriend. But it's not that easy tbh..
Because we humans don't wanna be alone in life. So it will aways eat at me. But I learned to never let it get me down to the point of wanting to relapse. It's not worth it. So if I spend the rest of my miserable life alone. Relapsing isn't the answer.

Just focus on staying clean and stay extra busy. Like I said before, working helps out huge. Plus it's soooo nice to have a bunch of money saved up. Almost have enough to buy my Hellcat Dodge Challenger I've been dying to buy lol.

My name is nicalet, and I’ll be a year sober in September! We do recover ! ONE DAY AT A TIME 💕💕💕

[AugustAdvice]

I have an abusive alcoholic mother but dang, watching that father made me SO thankful for the wise father that I DO have.

[Mrsqtfactory]

Nicholette seems like such a sweet person. I wish her the best 💖

[nokeycherry]

I been clean for 25 months now and my two kids actually picks up the phone for me now.. priceless

[daniellee]

It makes me so so happy that Nicky AND her father are doing well in recovery. I was on the edge of my seat for the update since I know addiction is a family dynamic

[mygrammieis]

Prayers for all going thru any addications🙏🏻✌🏻✊🧐

[MadisonDaLibra]

This baby was just so sweet and humble. Good for you Nikki ❤ I hope you’re still out there being the sweet beautiful person you are 😊

[ashleypauly]

This is awesome. I’m 10 months sober and my dad is over 40 yrs sober! His insights into my alcoholism were super impactful. I hope both Nikki and her dad the best!

[birdehh]

This really hits home, I’m also from London starting my recovery with the same people helping me.

This gave me a huge boost in confidence!

[jadelynn]

So glad to see people from my old stomping grounds actually getting help. St Thomas and London are just full of people hooked on one thing or more. Best of luck and hope to both of them ❤

This just shows the importance of a good father in a daughters life

[lirider]

Alcohol was the albatross around my neck for 25 years. Thought that was all there is to life. Tried quitting here and there to pass exams and get a job but that poisoning, foggy feeling would always show up like an old "friend". 3 months was the longest I got even after cardiac arrest. It's been 1 year plus now and to anyone struggling there is no amount of alcohol that can make you feel better than just a normal day in the sun, on the beach, in the garden just being present. If you're ready to make the turn then keep trying.

It is heartwarming to watch the ending of this video and know that they both ended up seeking help and had maintained sobriety.
