I'm a recovering addict. You can do it. If I can do it then you can do it. I've been blessed by God with many times I should have died. I've been in a motorcycle accident, I've overdosed 5 times, I've been in a car accident, I have had to have surgery on my left leg 16 times. I've got rods in both my legs, my hip is replaced, my pelvis is metal, I've had 2 closed head injuries I've been shot. Listen, I'm still competent, I can walk, talk sensibly, I wake up every day and praise the Lord for his grace and love for me. I have a son. I was not supposed to be able to have kids but Jesus blessed me. I was 37 when I got pregnant and had him at 38. I've witnessed death from drugs and alcohol. My son's dad died and my man of 18 years died from drugs. I made it through. I have an amazing story. There is so much more than all of this.
All I know is if I can make it through this you can. Trust the process and praise the Lord for your accomplishments.
