What it was like?

It sucked!! Never been to treatment.. used everything everyday for 15 years... at the end I knew it was to recover or die. I couldn't do that to my mom. I was dragged through hell and back.. by me and other toxic people.

What happened?

Rock bottom... mine was being drunk and drugged by my step dad and numerous occasions. I found naked pictures of me on his iPad all these horrible situations over that year leaf to that. If I didn't seek help that would have broke me. I went to treatment for the first time a month after the incident.

What it is like now?

I am the happiest I've ever been!!! I continue to surprise myself of what I am capable of. I use my hardships to help empower women in similar situations. I feel whole. I'm recovered.
