In my particular circumstance, the single, most difficult aspect of maintaining sobriety in a rural area is finding connection with the sober community. HardBeauty has been a saving grace for me, in terms of providing countless opportunities to network with others on this path of recovery. I have become more hopeful, motivated and passionate about pursuing recovery, as a result of Racquel’s efforts to provide diverse forums to remain connected with others. HardBeauty is inclusive, encouraging, welcoming and accepting of all individuals seeking a recovery community.
