“i am extremely proud. this hasn’t been easy. when you get sober… life still happens,” the professional dancer wrote. “you have to deal with all the same highs and lows as you did when you were using but now you don’t have the ability to numb yourself. you feel it. you feel everything. good and bad. but there is also beauty in that.”
