02 What happened
During my relapse I turned myself in on a warrant because I was pregnant and couldn't stop. I was desperate for help. I was in a hopeless state of mind. I gained 2 years and 3 months before I thought I had it and I could just do it once.... once again that hopeless state of mind returned. I relapsed on meth. I got sober again April 28th 2019 because I got arrested again. I caught my head. Worked a program, found God again.
03 What it is like now
Now I have almost 9 months (for the 2nd time) and I own my own business have a husband and 5 children. I'm truly blessed to be where I'm at in life! I know now I have to keep up with my recovery because if I dont life takes over. My life now I am more happy and freeing then I have ever been!
