At the time, I thought I was so cool because I could drink all night and of course blow lines til the sun came up. Then the blackouts started getting more frequent and my binge drinking was completely out of control and I knew it but it continued til the bottom the fell out.

I started getting involved in drinking and drugging at the age of 13. My last week at college I discovered cocaine and 3 years and 3 seizures later, I decided it was time to take my life back. I was always trying to fit in, instead of trying to become what I wanted to be. Once I let my youngest sister down because of my lifestyle, I knew things had to change and I made the phone call, I had to make.

Living a life where you care about other people and want to influence them in a positive way is fulfilling. To have a passion to get better every day in all aspects of your life is fulfilling. It took me a long time to get there but living a life full of love, gratitude, empathy and humility is fulfilling.
