01 What it was like

It was easy for me to be honest. When you want something bad enough you will just reach out and grab it.

02 What happened

I got sick and tired of losing everything. I had a daughter and wanted her more than the drugs. Now I'm coming up on four years clean. I finally understood what one day at a time meant. If you can figure that out and retrain your brain, you can think in a totally different way. It is absolutely necessary.

03 What it is like now

Life is AMAZING. I am a completely different person today. I'm happy. My daughter is happy. My mom is happy. My entire family has never been more proud. Life is truly amazing. Miracles happen. Don't leave sobriety before your miracles happen. You will never achieve them if you do.
