SUCCESS STORY: Before I came to MOH, I was broken. I was letting my trauma lead my footsteps and had lost everything good I had left in my life because of drug use. I had zero confidence and knew nothing of accountability. I thought that because I was always at home taking care of my kids and the house that I wasn't an 'addict.' This was far from the truth. I was neglecting my babies from me emotionally and psychologically over methamphetamine. I didn't know how to heal or how to move forward when I hit rock bottom.
MOH helped me learn the first most important thing to stand up and try something different...that I was the one standing in my way of having all the best things and people in life. There were some pretty amazing women that guided me, taught me how to heal, and helped me begin rebuilding things brick by brick. I was loved back to life and uplifted every day. I was also introduced to AA and the 12 steps, which became a framework for community and never being alone again. When I renewed my relationship with God---my life truly took off β€οΈπ₯
The biggest challenge I had was digging up the deeply embedded hurt parts of me and laying them down to not pick them back up again. I learned that forgiveness will release so much pain and give power back to you, so you can use them as fuel for achieving joy and peace. After MOH I stayed in sober living for a while and eventually got a home and my children back with me. I am now almost 4 years sober by the grace of God & working the program! I have my Peer Support Certification, my CDACA1, and I am halfway through with my Bachelor's Degree with a 4.0. That's not to brag, it's to show what determination, staying sober, healing, and HOPE can do for anyone that wants it. YOU are WORTHY--YOU are LOVED---and YOU are NOT WHAT THEY SAY YOU ARE!!! π
