Who imagines they’ll grow up to be someone who needs to use Soberlink four times a day? Not me! Starting out in recovery, I was embarrassed to have lost the trust of those around me and was frustrated about having to carry my device around to blow into it. Why didn’t my family trust that I wasn’t drinking? Now, I understand that as a constant relapser, I conditioned them to wait for my next slip-up. Three years later, with time and consistency, I have made amends. My family says, 'You have had Compliant test results on every single test for over three years; why do you still want to use this?' My answer: it gives me freedom. It is allowing trust back into my life. I have shown that for 3+ years, I have kept my word and been dependable. I can’t imagine life without it, as the 30-seconds a day has given me the freedom to travel; it inspires me to get weekly and monthly reports. Why not?!? Isn't consistency and time the goal?
