What it was like?

Living in a nightmare everyday, trying to keep up with your own lies alone is the worst! Feeling that maybe tomorrow will be the day I finally don't wake up!

What happened?

I was lying to EVERYONE I knew and loved, including myself. I didn't recognize myself anymore, but was so ashamed to have to ask for help AGAIN. I hit my bottom...I destroyed the one relationship that had always been there for me, my baby brother. I hurt the one person who would have helped me no matter what, instead I lied, stole, disrespected his home and family. I finally hit my bottom.

What it is like now?

The absolute BEST year of my life! Realizing my worth!! Realizing I had a life worth living just sitting there waiting to be enjoyed!! I enjoy every second I wake up breathing I could not be more grateful to wake up feeling better and better each day!!
