01 What it was like
I was hopeless , lost and believed in nothing. Carry all my hurts habits and hang ups around knowing nothing else. In prisoned ,lost my kids ,broke, I was insane!
Carry all my hurts habits and hang ups around knowing nothing else.
02 What happened
I found a Faith greater then myself, joined Celebrate Recovery and got a Sponsor and an accountability partner. I joined many groups and learned how to live all over again . As a mother sister and friend.
03 What it is like now
My life is not the same and my peace of mind today is something I work on everyday. The restorations of my life of brokenness are proof that Sobriety saved my life. I am who I was always intended to be not who I became in my addiction. I live life and own anything that comes up for me. I have gained the tools to live life without alcohol. Freedom❤️?
