The young woman detailed that she and her partner had split and lived separate lives with other people. However, when she came back to her senses and fully recovered, they rekindled their love.

“Even now, he will inspect me, chile! But I’m 1 year clean now and I’ve never been with someone so supportive and non-judgemental ❤️,” said a grateful @Nompumelelo_Th.

Her Twitter thread has gained a lot of traction from netizens showing her support and asking about her recovery journey.

“The reason I came out today about my past addiction is that I know a very close friend of mine who is addicted and is in denial and it hurts me so much because I know how it feels to be her and unable to stop. I love her so much and I pray she makes it out alive❤️,” she disclosed.
