I met Alison back in June. I was a pretty large mess of a human, but when I saw her I couldn't explain the feeling. We didn't really talk much until after Banyan treatment center. I went back home for a week and in the time we started talking a lot. She convinced me to come back to Florida, so I did:) I'll be honest I was so afraid but so excited we started dating practically the day I got there. We did so much together we were always with each other and we were always happy and having fun being sober. I had so many personally issues that she helped me with and was so easily able to just take away. Alison being my girlfriend and best friend changed my entire life. She was amazing and so selfless she taught me so many things that I didn't know about myself or about life. I will love her forever. To anyone reading this just please know that Alison changed lives she truly did especially mine but others too she was wonderful at everything she did and was talented, beautiful, and the smartest girl I've ever came across. She will live in my heart everyday and I will never forget her and all the plans we had made.
