Good Morning ATO family! When I was a kid I never thought I would be in some of the situations I was in as an adult. I made some bad choices and turned myself into someone I wasn’t. It was through recovery, that I realized that I turned myself into that person, or monster I was. If I truly wanted to change I needed to make choices based on that. My choices defined my character back then and I needed to start to make different moves in life if I wanted a different outcome. Humility played a major role in that process. I had to realize my ideas didn’t work and maybe I didn’t have it all figured out like I thought. Surrendering, listening to other’s suggestions, and by following God’s directionI was able to start to slowly change, one day at a time. I kept my head in the work and continued to surprise myself. Through facing my fear of failure I started to try new things that I would never have dreamed of. I learned to take that drive I had to chase M**h and Money and used that same obsession to change my life. These skills we used for the negative can now be used for the positive. We can change it up and never go back. One day at a time brother’s and sister’s. Stay aggressive in your pursuit to change your life. Have a blessed day and as always, it’s Hope to the Hopeless! ☀️🤔😔✝️🔥🙏💪

Good Morning ATO family! What better way to start the day than in the Scriptures!

“Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬-‭27‬ ‭NLT‬

The process of recovery is a lot like training for a title fight in boxing or preparing for a marathon. Both require endurance, commitment, sacrifice, and strict discipline for those who truly want to win. No one ever said recovery would be easy, and Paul makes it clear that growing in our relationship with God takes effort, perseverance, and intentional living.

If we want to succeed in recovery and continue growing spiritually, we must stay focused on the goal God has placed before us. We have to let go of the destructive habits, toxic mindsets, and unhealthy behaviors that slow us down and keep us from becoming who God created us to be. Recovery is not passive—it’s active. We train daily through prayer, accountability, honesty, Scripture, service, and surrender.

There will be hard days. There will be moments we feel tired, discouraged, or tempted to quit. But just like an athlete pushing through pain for the prize, we keep going because what God has for us is far greater than temporary comfort. We are running for an eternal prize that will never fade away.

So today, run with purpose. Fight with purpose. Live with purpose. Don’t just shadowbox with your struggles—face them head on with God beside you. Through Christ, we can experience freedom, healing, restoration, and victory one day at a time.

As always, it’s Hope to the Hopeless ☀️🏋️‍♀️💪✝️🔥🏆

I will always share my story about how I was "that addict." I was hopeless. People said don't waste your time on her, she will never change... But I'm here to tell anyone that's this recovery s**t is possible for ANYONE! Just keep coming back! Follow your heart ❤️ Never give up on yourself no matter what. I could have only dreamt I'd be where I am today.
As I type this post, I still wonder how did I do it... I didn't, we did. And my higher power put me in places with the right people who love me no matter what, and I just keep going ✨️✨️✨️ I have a sponsor , I work the steps, and I sponsor other women. I get to be apart of my kids lives💖
I never forget where I came from and how I am always 1 choice away from going back. I am a 14x felon, been through 17 treatments and here I am living this life of recovery and saving the most misunderstood breed of dogs cause I too know what's is like to have a stereotype yet show my heart regardless💯
