I often find myself in a place where I don’t know what to write about, and then I read something and my mind goes running 🏃‍♀️ but my fingers can’t catch up!

Courage– a word that has many different meanings, and is one of the most powerful.

I am reminded on a daily basis how much courage it takes to show up and live life! Being an addict in recovery is one of the hardest, yet most rewarding things I’ve ever done!

I face many challenges that used to send me spiraling out of control, and today walk through them with a new found courage. A majority of my life I used some sort of substance or behavior to change the way that I felt! I’m slowly learning different ways to deal with my fear today!

I have shared a few different experiences on my blog, but sometimes just showing up and facing life takes a lot of courage when what you have known for so long in the bottom of a spoon, or the inside of a dope sack, or an atmosphere where the sounds from gaming drown out any thoughts, yet make your heart race.

Choosing to come off my meds while pregnant 🤰🏼 demonstrators courage in a way I haven’t known, because I get to trust and believe that my god will take care of me and this baby. I have only ever known getting loaded when I’m not medicated so this is much different for me!

Everyday I get to work towards a better future and walk through fear to achieve the life I have always dreamed.
