The longest time I cared what people thought. I cared that people judged me for being addicted to drugs. I cared that people thought I was a piece of s**t mother who “chose drugs over her kids”. I cared about people seeing me get arrested. Moral of the story is I cared too much about what people thought.

Fast forward to today… F**K WHAT THEY THINK OR SAY. Why? Because at the end of the day they weren’t there rebuilding life with me. They weren’t there when I was in prison. They weren’t there through the domestic abuse relationships I endured, they weren’t there for all my trauma that I decided to self medicate from.

The other day I decided to pull up my old Pastors name on here to see if we were still friends… guess what? We’re not. He deleted me. Which is surprising because well, I guess my type of Christianity doesn’t fit the perfection of what most Christian’s think these days and well, he once was someone who was “mentoring” me and my husband.

I’m sorry, I don’t f**k with that fake ass s**t. That’s fake. Oh, I’m cussing? I’m sinning. No, I’m bothered that yet another pastor decided I “wasn’t good enough”. That s**t is ridiculous.

So to those who are Christians and judge me for my honesty, my continued walk in Christianity that is still work in progress go f**k yourselves.

Me giving a f**k about people’s judgements surpassed long ago.

People think they know me if they knew the old version of me. They expect me to go back to my old ways. They wait for me to go back. Because old me would revert back to what I knew then. The streets, the drugs, the lifestyle.

Here’s the thing.. I was scared for the longest time I wasn’t going to stay as strong as I have.
Honestly, I’m still as surprised as most people to be honest and I just hit my 4 year mark of sobriety.

I would be a liar if I said that it’s been easy. But I’m no liar. Now the old me was. She was a liar, a thief, a disappointment, a failure, a lost cause. Sure was.

But this new me… man. The people who know me now will only know this version of me. The honest version, the real version, the authentic version, the healing version, the redeemed version.

People will bring up my past. Shoot, I’ll even run into old people I ran around with and they’ll say “I thought you were dead” my response is always, “yeah that version of me is dead and will continue to be”

Being able to have another chance at being a mom is one in a million that I’ll never take for granted.

I was in absent mom with my oldest kids. I chose the streets and the drugs over them. I chose people that I don’t even have a relationship with these days over them. People tell me I need to forgive myself for that. But I’m not quite there yet.

I’ve made mistakes, I have an ugly past and some of it I can’t even tell you what happened cause half the time I was so high I don’t remember anything.

I’ve slept alone on the streets, I’ve had to fight for my life, I’ve been announced dead, and here I am typing this for one reason. God. God saved me. God never left even when I decided to turn away time and time again.

I’ve rebuilt my life. I’ve changed my life. I work on myself on a daily basis. I do things I always said I wouldn’t do. One of those things is stay sober.

Anyone out there that has struggled or is just know there is always a way out. We just have to choose to face the chaos we created ourselves. We have to choose to face our trauma. We have to take accountability. We have to apologize.

There isn’t a perfect human. We all make mistakes. But we can decide if we continue on the same dark path or we can choose to get clean, stay sober, rebuild ourselves and lives and help the next one out. We do recover ❤️

The beauty of sobriety is you get to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You get to hear the success stories. The changes they’ve made.

You get to hear how they’re miracles. You get to create bonds with people that you never would have if you didn’t go through the things you went through.

Recovery has taught me that addiction comes in all shapes and sizes but it also has the most beautiful people in it but addiction doesn’t discriminate.

Four years ago if you would of told us we’d be sitting at a World Cup game sober, have a beautiful daughter, great jobs, rebuilt relationships with family, our own place and off of parole we would have looked at you and thought you were crazy.
But by the grace of God we are sober, changed, and grateful. Cause we once were lost but then we found ourselves.

People will judge the addict that decides to have a drink.
People will tell them you need to be completely straight.
Here’s the thing… recovery is different for all types of people.
People learn how to learn themselves to a T when in recovery.
They learn their triggers. They learn what not to do and what they can do.
Does it mean go out and party every day? No.. because once you start doing that then you’re going to find yourself back down that rabbit hole.
Some choose to stay completely away from it all and that’s awesome.
But just cause your recovery is what is working for you doesn’t mean it’s going to be like someone else’s.

Yes… I drink every 6 months and have absolutely ONE drink. And I do it while I’m treating myself. Not for a banger night but to relax.
Do I smoke w**d? Meh, I could care less for it but i do support those in recovery who do and don’t.

We know ourselves better than anyone else. So don’t let others judgement get you down. Especially those in recovery who still want to say what you’re doing isn’t the right way of recovery.
We all recover differently.

For the longest time I always asked why me? I played a victim role while creating more victims in active addiction. I blamed everyone for my problems besides myself. But at the end of the day I sat in those jail cells by myself, prison by myself, cop cars by myself. I put myself in all those situations.
Did trauma play a role in it? Of course it did. Did fly or flight mode play a role in it? Of course it did. At the end of the day, I had a lot of unhealed parts of me that I needed to deal with. I mean, when you go through so much trauma from 9 years old to 27 years old you tend to just shove it so far back that you just build up so much anger, confusion, sadness, bitterness, and anxiety.
The thing is, I get a lot of people who support my journey but I also get a lot of random hate saying all addicts deserve to die. Which is kind of sad because at one point we were just infants that were born and nobody expected or planned on us being addicts. We’re all human.
Most people will sit in their closet while judging people who blast their whole life and take accountability.
I’ve made some big mistakes, I’ve been a hoodlum, a non present mother, a thief, a liar, a ju**ie, homeless.But the thing is, we are ONE LIFE situation from being in those shoes. People ask why we turn to drugs or alcohol. The answer is because it makes us feel good for such a little bit of time. We start partying at a young age and then it becomes something we’re comfortable with that we enjoy until it takes everything from us. Destroys us. Destroys everyone around us.
But the beautiful thing is we can change. We can heal. The people we’ve hurt and that have watched us through active addiction can heal. We grow and then it becomes necessary to help those still stuck in addiction.
