There’s a lot of freedom in knowing that I can get up, function and get through my day without having to rely on having something or enough of something to be able to make it through the day. That, to me, is true freedom, and I am thankful for it every single day. We do recover.

The biggest thing that I've learned in my recovery is that everything I've done, the good, the bad, the ugly and the in-between, has got me where I'm at right now.

Write it down. Dig fossils, / open graves, take up / the blanched eye of grief. / Slam doors. Plant flowers. Grow. / Who are you now? / Make a list. Write it down.

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.

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.

It is the little things, you know. If it weren't for making a point to recognize the little things and finding purpose in helping people, I probably wouldn't be here, and not here as in work. I wouldn't be here at all, as in on this Earth.

It does not matter whether someone is in active addiction or recovery or some of the bad things. They are still people. They have feelings. Whenever you give people the time and the room and the safety nets to get into recovery, most will.

I’m still growing, but I do not fight addiction anymore. It’s been conquered in the blood of Jesus and through my testimony.

If I didn’t share my story for the next person who was walking in my shoes, people might forget to dream, to have hope, to have friends. I used to push everybody out. Now, I want those things.

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.

Every day someone is at the point they are ready for help, and I want to be that person there to guide them, walk with them, hold their hand and be their shoulder—whatever they need, I want to be that in their life.

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 think it’s very important to start working with children at a young age and start addressing certain problems, especially with mental disorders and diseases. I suffered from them when I was a kid and didn’t get them addressed; they were kind of pushed to the side.
