I’m no longer the same person I was when I came in. I now have the tools to love myself and be a better person.
I’m not really good with words, I’m still learning. Throughout my childhood, there were things that happened, things that never should have, that left me confused. At the age of 14, I started drinking. It felt like the only way to cope. I couldn’t tell anyone what I was going through, so I bottled it in, feeling rejected and misunderstood. That led me to make bad decisions. I hit rock bottom in 2016. I was arrested during one of the hardest times of my life, to the point where I didn’t want to live anymore. Back in that jail cell, I found a Bible. I started reading it. I prayed, and I started to follow Jesus. I’m clean and sober. I’m no longer the same person I was when I came in. I now have the tools to love myself and be a better person. Thank you for letting me share a little bit of my story.
