My story started when I was a little girl. All of five years old, I lost my dad to electricity failure. he got electrocute underneath our home; we were swimming in our kiddie pools. My Dad died on site. Mim found him and came out screaming. For the next hours to come we were devastated and confused to say the least.
By the time I was 8 years old I was staying with My Aunt and uncle because mom was a single Mom now. I was sexually molested for years.
I started experiencing alcohol at nine years old out of my parents' cupboards and even snuck it at grannie's house. By the time I was fifteen years old I drank and partied with guys who were old enough to buy it
.I thought sex was love and I sure LOVED a lot of guys in my life. I was slowing finding myself in a blur, always drinking, always drunk.
I graduated and went to college and got my own apartment by 18 years old. I was married by 19 and pregnant with my first child. My husband abused me, and we didn't stay together long. We broke off and I was already with some else by the time my daughter was four
I didn't know how to have healthy relationships or stay sober enough to care. I lost my children for the first time to mom when my daughter was nine and My son was five. It has been a hard road for most of my life to live at the expectations of my family and courts. I failed many times to stay sober/clean, but I still kept fighting to see them and be at every visit.
Today I am eight years clean.my children are now all grown up, and two teens are still with me. It took all my life to get this awful addiction off my back and I found Jesus. In a Church where I just needed the same Love, he gives through the people who embraced me, showed me a life like I've never known. He saved me!! He showed that I'm a beautiful child of God. I walk in my purpose every day. I pray. I worship. I serve others!!
I stay clean and sober through Jesus and his strength. I have a lot to be thankful for. My family restored, I even have an amazing husband who has twenty-two yrs sober.so Yeah life is beautiful and we pray together most days. both teens are off to college, and I couldn't be prouder!
Jesus is the reason for the turnaround in my life, and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him.
