I started smoking cigarettes at 13 years old and smoked weed a few times around 17 years of age but I didn’t like it. I was drugged and raped at 18 almost died from it but even though I wasn’t really a believer of god he has saved me on numerous times in my life and i know if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be alive today I was introduced to crack cocaine at the age of 26 took me awhile to get hooked before I wanted to get clean for the 1st time I tried heroine meth cocaine but thank you Jesus I didn’t like any of them I was in a awful place mentally at the age of 28 I decided i wanted to get clean not long after I became pregnant with my precious daughter Paisley in 2021 after giving birth to her around 5 months between post pardome,depression,anexiety, manic depression, bipolar disorder borderline personality disorder abandonment issues trust issues etc. finally took a toll on my life never before because I only was absent from drugs I didn’t heal at all I went to jail a few times looking back every time I was arrested it saved my life. I was homeless again in the cold nowhere to go I begged to be arrested in feb of 2022 got out a month later relapsed for a week an I cant do this anymore and along the way of going to different halfway houses and such I found my way to Rock house ministries and programs I know Jesus brought me there and I’m so glad he did because I found my relationship with him there and stayed 6 months and received all the tools I needed to be successful also found my second family I love all of them so very much I still go visit when I’m able, I’m now 3 years sober thank you Jesus no more anger addiction I no my worth I’m grateful now when I wasn’t before I have my mind back yes I still struggle a little with annexed and depression but no where near like it used to be my daughter is with me almost daily for almost a year I don’t have her back legally but I know when Jesus is ready for me to have her back I will I’m going to be taking the Certified peer recovery specialist class soon so I can give back an help others out of the ditches and hell I once was in that’s what its about you don’t go through something just to go through it its either a lesson or a blessing i thank Jesus each and everyday I know he loves me and he also loves you as well if you will just give him a chance.
