Now I’m teaching other people how to share their story for purpose. I’m teaching them how to testify in committees. I’m teaching them how to organize in their communities.

My life is amazing. It's not perfect, but it's amazing because I'm no longer bound by my substances. My worst day now is a million times better than my best day before, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Those people only became bees buzzing in my ear. I had bigger fish to fry. Nope, this lady wasn't going to get entangled in some fly trap guilt trip they were setting out. Opinions didn't matter; I was looking out for my kid's future.

In the time that I was there all of a sudden there was a change. / No longer did I feel trapped or in a daily agonizing pain. / The misery and depression, the loneliness and fear / No longer controlled my thoughts, no longer whispered in my ear.

As I continue down this path and on my way, / I confidently take life's challenges day by day; / As my future looks brighter and I start to hope, / That anything is possible, and within my scope.

I’m very transparent about what I’ve endured in life and the obstacles that I’ve overcome. I’m not ashamed of it. Everything that I’ve been through in life prepared me for who I am today and who I’m going to be.

I never thought I could have a life happy without drugs, but I very much do. I really got down to what makes me, me. I truly found myself and learned how to be happy in my own skin.

You can’t lift anybody up by putting them down because they already feel that way. They need to know they are worth it. They are worthy.

I was really resistant at first, not listening to anything or trying anything another way, but I have acceptance today. I have worked on my anger issues. I’m more responsible today. I am active in all the programs I’m in. I feel like I’ve come a long way from nine months ago when I first got down here.

I can say that my recovery family is amazing and very supportive. And I know that if I continue to do the next right thing, that’s the best thing I can do to build back the relationships that I damaged so much in the past.

I’m still growing, but I do not fight addiction anymore. It’s been conquered in the blood of Jesus and through my testimony.
Paul Bell -
I am proud of who I have become. I am proud of being an active member of society. I have a job now. I’ve served meals at the city mission as a reminder of where I don’t want to put myself again.

I just feel like anything you go through in addiction can be overcome with recovery. They always say that your best day in addiction is still worse than your worst day in recovery, because it’s still a bad day. And I had to forgive myself, I had to ask for forgiveness from others, but you can overcome it and everything does get better.

What we go through makes us the people we are today. It turns us into strong people. You can be open and not regret what you’ve been through. It’s important to talk about your struggles and work the steps. You can be free again.

I have so much freedom in my life today, and I'm genuinely happy. I'm able to be a mom. I'm able to be a friend. I'm able to be a girlfriend. I'm able to be a daughter, a sister, a niece, a granddaughter; I'm able to be all of those things today. And if it wasn't for God, and the fellowship of AA, and these steps and my sponsor and everything, I wouldn't have all of this.
