Today I celebrate seven years of freedom from drug addiction.
It's been the most brutal and most beautiful journey.
I've learnt so much about life, about people and about myself.
I've learnt that your peace is priceless, that no matter what's going on in your life and how bad you're hurting your recovery cannot falter.
I've learnt that you can only win, when your mind is stronger than your emotions.
Another lesson... not all people are for you - you lose those that you loved, and gain those you once lost, but it's important to love yourself first.
I've learnt that not everyone understands your journey and your choices. , they don't have to, nor do you have to explain yourself, it's important that you understand your feelings, your triggers and the reason you chose recovery in the first place.
This milestone isn't just mine.
It belongs to God, My Parents, my daughters Mickayla and Madison ,my sister, my familia at Addict’s Voice and every person who offered a hand, a kind word, or a silent prayer when I was in the depths.
To my girls, my family, my true friends, my support system—you are my bedrock. Thank you for loving me when I couldn’t love myself.
I also want to thank all those that once ruled my mind, all those judging, holding on to my past and waiting to see me fall. You taught me a fierce, unshakable resilience. Your doubt doesn't break me; it's become the pressure that forges me into someone stronger. You only ever pushed me harder, and for that unintended gift, I have no choice but to say thank you.
If you are reading this and you’re in the struggle, lost in the noise of that same voice, please know this: **It can lie to you, but it does not own you.** The bravest, most life-changing thing you can do is to reach out and ask for help. It’s there. I’m living proof. You don’t have to do this alone.
Here’s to seven years of choosing life, one day at a time. And I just know The best is yet to come.
WE DO RECOVER!!!
