"There was a time when my life felt broken...

My mind was clouded, my body was tired, and my soul was empty.

Recovery changed that.
It gave me strength to hold a job, run a household, and be the mother my children (and even other people’s children) can depend on.

It gave me dignity and pride in who I’ve become.
I no longer just take. I give.
I no longer just survive. I live.

Recovery has given me a life beyond my wildest dreams.
And now I share my journey with others, because change doesn’t only look one way."

đź’¬ This is the story of one survivor.
