💚 MAY - Mental Health Awareness Month
✨My journey of when I was lost and NOW , I am FOUND!✨💚
✨Celebrating 4 years of sobriety✨
It didn’t begin in a beautiful moment.
It began in the quiet… the kind that feels loud because you’re finally alone with yourself.
I remember sitting there, exhausted—not just physically, but in my soul. Sick and Tired of being sick & tired of all of it. Tired of showing up as someone I didn’t even recognize anymore. Because I chose to wear a mask of the person I thought I was until I couldn’t do it one more day! I had spent so much time pouring into others, people-pleasing, numbing, avoiding… that I lost me somewhere along the way.
And in that moment, something shifted.
Not perfectly. Not instantly. But honestly.
Because one thing about sobriety is this—THIS IS MY STORY. Nobody else’s.
I had to stop comparing, stop explaining, stop justifying. I found what worked for me, and I stood on it. I owned it. Even when I didn’t understand and it was uncomfortable. Even when it meant letting go of things—and people (yes, it is a must) that no longer aligned with the life I was trying to build.
Sobriety, for me, wasn’t pretty. It’s sad, it’s messy, it’s showing myself that I had tolerated too many things, it has cuss words, it has Gods Will and only his will to navigate through the unimaginable defining moments and believing all the bu****it of negative talk I told myself, and adding alcohol to those thoughts, HOLY CRAP! It was an elevation into a darkness when I wanted my life to be over. It is selfish in the most necessary way.
It is self-centering when I had spent years abandoning myself.
It was raw. Real. Honest in a way that cracked me wide open.
There were moments I felt completely shattered… like I was breaking apart instead of healing.
But what I didn’t realize at the time was—those were the very moments God was rebuilding me.
Piece by piece.
Day by day.
Choice by choice.
Years of doing the work—facing things I used to run from, FEELING for the first time ever, things I used to numb, choosing growth over comfort—for once
I would see a glimpse of LIGHT, HOPE and FAITH that led me to something I never expected…
An amazing God I didn’t fully know before.
An even more amazing life I didn’t think I deserved.
And a journey rooted in humility and deep, unwavering GRATITUDE. Gratitude was life changing for me.
Sobriety didn’t just save my life.
It gave me one.❤️
And now I walk it—imperfectly, boldly, and fully present—
knowing that every step, every story, every scar, every breakthrough…
is mine!!! And it’s Be-YOU-tiful! 💯❤️🙏🏻💪🏻
