“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.
Amen
🦋
Today I celebrate 38 years of sobriety.
🦋
These last seven years have been the roughest seasons of my recovery, but I made it through without picking up. When life got heavy, when losses came, and when I felt tested in ways I couldn’t explain, I had to do something I hadn’t always done the same way before, I had to fight for my mind and remember one steady truth: God has me.
🦋
Because no matter what we’re going through, we have to keep that foundation in our hearts. God didn’t bring us this far to drop us now. If it wasn’t for Him, if it wasn’t for His protection, His guidance, and His strength when mine ran out, there’s no question in my mind I would have relapsed.
🦋
Today, I feel a kind of freedom I can’t fully put into words. This anniversary is meaningful to me in a special way because it’s the first time in my recovery that I truly had to remember and hold on through the fight, through the tears, through the losses and I made it to the other side.
🦋
So yes, today I celebrate me, but I celebrate the Grace that carried me. I celebrate the work, the surrender, My Heavenly Father, My Home Teacher, Brother Reinhard Boerner. My family, my daughter, Michelle Holland, my sons, Mike Sevigny, Rick Sevigny. My brothers, Kevin Pepper, John Olson, my sister, Terri Pepper. My close friends, Neil Thomson, My Sponser😘Julia Jewelz, my junior sponser🥰Alexis Hermsen-Carreras, Lisa Morin, Libby Somoza, Claude Harris and Miriam Viani; they were always there if and when I needed them, and the decision to keep going one day at a time.
🦋
If you’re in a hard season today, hear this: you’re not here by accident. Don’t quit. Don’t trade your freedom for a moment of relief. God has you and He’s already working on the other side for you too.
🦋 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.
🙏
Amen.

This Easter weekend, as we reflect on renewal and hope, the song “Hurt the Ones I Love” by Regan Beam reminds us of the struggle many face in addiction; the pain we sometimes cause those we care about most. Easter is a powerful symbol of grace, forgiveness, and new beginnings. No matter the mistakes or hurt, GRACE offers us a chance to heal, to restore relationships, and to move forward with strength and love.

At Keystone Counseling, we believe that through grace and support, recovery is possible. If you or someone you love is struggling, this Easter can be the start of a hopeful journey toward healing and redemption. Let this season’s message of grace inspire you to reach out, forgive, and begin anew. Private message me or email at Keystone.Counseling.5@gmail.com for more information.

UPDATE: March 19, 2026

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has arrested a 16-year-old in connection with a fatal shooting in Ruskin that left one man dead and another person injured.

On March 15, 2026, at 1:19 a.m., our 911 Dispatch Center received a call about a shooting in the 5000 block of White Chicory Drive in Apollo Beach.

When deputies arrived, they found a vehicle in a ditch along 19th Avenue Northeast in Ruskin with two people suffering from gunshot wounds. The driver, 19-year-old Jonathan Blue, was taken to the hospital, where he later died. A female passenger was also taken to the hospital and is currently in stable condition.

Detectives say the shooting happened during a planned narcotics transaction at the residence. During that interaction, gunfire ensued.

Through their investigation, detectives identified 16-year-old James Middlebrooks as the suspect.
Middlebrooks was initially charged on March 15, 2026, with Minor in Possession of a Firearm and Tampering with Physical Evidence.

After further investigation and consultation with the State Attorney’s Office, a warrant was issued on March 18, 2026, charging him with First-Degree Premeditated Murder, Attempted First-Degree Premeditated Murder, and two counts of Shooting at or Within a Vehicle.

“This was a senseless act of violence that took a young life and left another person injured. Those responsible will be held accountable,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “Our thoughts are with the victim’s family as they face this unimaginable loss. We remain committed to seeking justice and keeping our community safe.”

Middlebrooks was already in custody at the Department of Juvenile Justice and has since been transported to the Juvenile Assessment Center for processing.

This remains an active investigation. Any updates will come from the Public Affairs Office.

Recognizing when someone is trying to gaslight you is crucial to protect your mental and emotional well-being. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation where the manipulator tries to make you doubt your own perceptions, memories, or sanity.

Signs Someone is Trying to Gaslight You
Denial of Facts or Reality:
• They insist that events or conversations you clearly remember never happened or happened differently.

Contradicting Your Memories:
•They challenge your recollections, making you question your own memory.

Minimizing Your Feelings:
•They dismiss or belittle your emotions, saying you’re “too sensitive” or “overreacting.”

Blaming You for Their Behavior:
•They turn the tables and make you feel responsible for their actions or mistakes.

Using Confusing or Contradictory Information:
•They provide conflicting details to create doubt and confusion.

Isolating You from Others:
•They discourage you from trusting friends or family who validate your experiences.

Projecting Their Own Faults:
•They accuse you of behaviors or intentions they themselves exhibit.

How to Protect Yourself from Gaslighting
Keep a Record:
•Write down conversations, events, and your feelings to have a clear reference.

Trust Your Perceptions:
•Remind yourself that your feelings and memories are valid.

Seek External Validation:
•Talk to trusted friends, family, or professionals who can confirm your reality.

Set Boundaries:
•Limit interactions with the person when they start manipulating or invalidating you.

Stay Calm and Assertive:
•Don’t engage in arguments that make you doubt yourself; calmly state your perspective.

Consider Professional Help:
•Therapists can help you process the experience and develop coping strategies.

Understanding these signs and strategies empowers you to recognize gaslighting attempts early and maintain your sense of reality and self-worth.

The phrase “Let go” may be small, but it holds immense power. Choosing to release the need to control someone today can bring you lasting peace. If you or a loved one is facing challenges with addiction, alcoholism, or difficulties in a relationship or marriage, Keystone Counseling is here to support you.

I am truly grateful to the “LDS on mission FIELD ” page for sharing this young man’s story with such compassion and grace. His story has deeply moved me, and I feel inspired to share it both on my personal page and on my professional social media platforms; Keystone Counseling’s (In Brandon, Florida) Facebook and Instagram. I hope that those in “our community” who are battling addiction will find hope and encouragement through his journey. By highlighting his courage and strength instead of his struggles with addiction, this story shines a loving and uplifting light on his path.

When I speak of “our community,” I am referring to those who are walking the path of recovery or seeking the courage to hold on, just to stay clean and sober for one more day. His story will touch many hearts within my circle, as I am a grateful recovered addict myself, soon to celebrate 38 years of sobriety. Now, I have the blessing of helping others find their way out of darkness and into healing.

As a Latter-Day Saint, I know how challenging this journey can be, even after many years of recovery, especially when faced with misunderstanding and judgment. So, to read such a tender and beautiful tribute honoring our brother in Christ fills my heart with gratitude and hope.

Thank you again for this gift of love and encouragement.

🥀REST IN PEACE IN LOVING MEMORY🕊️ ✨🥀

Some time ago, a powerful voice went quiet… but his story still speaks.

He was a man who rose from pain, addiction, violence, and a life many thought he would never escape. From the streets to prison… from brokenness to faith… his journey was a living testimony that Jesus Christ changes lives 🙏

He found the light of the gospel in one of the darkest places—behind bars. What started as reading to survive became a transformation of the heart. He came to know that all are alike unto God ✨

He fought hard battles. He wasn’t perfect. He stumbled, he struggled… but he kept coming back to Christ. And that’s what made his story so real, so powerful, so inspiring.

He showed us that no matter how far someone has gone, they are never beyond the reach of God’s love 🤍

Though he is no longer with us, his testimony lives on.
His faith lives on.
His story still brings hope.

🕊️ We honor his life, his courage, and his journey back to Christ.

May we remember him not just for where he started… but for who he became.

Rest in peace, brother. Until we meet again 🙏✨

Follow us here for more updates ❣️ 🙏 👏

Help me BECOME better.
Please help me grow.

A quiet, humble prayer that is sometimes met with a response we don’t expect.

RAIN

“No,” we exclaim.
“I just want the growth without all the storms along the way.”

God smiles recognizing the fear response, yet sees so much potential we can’t even imagine.

Growth is a PROCESS.

Like a small, rough seed sitting in the mud looking toward the light to eventually rise up and blossom.

It’s believing there’s a bigger plan.
And we matter.

Trust the journey.
Face the storm.
And dance in the rain.

One day that humble prayer will be answered.

In spiritual and emotional GROWTH.

“Let go” are tiny words with huge rewards. If I want to, I can give up my attempts to control someone today. Peace will be my reward.
