A huge congrats to Mazie F. on such an incredible transformation! Sober since November 14, 2022.
So my life journey to addiction at 14 years old, I met a young boy he smoked pot from the age of 14 to the age of 26. I was with the same guy in 2012 i lost my father to a massive heart attack 2015 I lost my mother to stage for a lung cancer. I was the daddy‘s girl. We read bowls together and that was my peace as a little girl to get through life and my daddy was that peace and as the years went along been with this man, his drug addiction only got worse. I fell into that drug addiction with him in the year 2015. I had my son after I had my son my addiction began to get worse for co***ne and pain pills. Well then, I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter. I gave birth to her in 2019 two blessings, and I wanted to be a mother but and I didn’t know how to get out of it got worse. The man I was with at the time got worse as well putting his hands on me and beating on me every night, so I just gave up on life and addiction. I felt like my kids and everyone around me would be better off without me in their life so I tried to take the easy road and that was through addiction that led me to the hardest road that I’ve ever been down in my life, God put me in a situation where I had gotten into trouble so he could save my life. I stole a vehicle. I did four months and county jail and three months in prison and believe it or not with me going to jail so that was my lifesaver God just rented me a room in his hotel, so I had to read the Bible. I had run away from God for so long and finally in that jail where I begin to pray and read the Bible and come back and lean and trust in God and what he has written in that big book for us, I did my time, I got locked up 11-14-22 that was the best day of a long road that I never seen coming 21 months and two weeks later I am clean today by the grace of God, touching me in here and a mother‘s cry to just be in her children’s life because she was wrapped up in addiction before she could even get out of it with no money and no help I couldn’t afford treatment getting in trouble and going to jail was my only option as I felt I just hope that my story will give someone else hope and that addiction is real, but the recovery life is real as well.
