First Post

Writing my first blog post is both exhilarating and terrifying! I have long wanted to do it but continued to question “ who was I to blog?” I know who I am now! I’m a woman; a mother, who came out of the darkness and found true happiness and peace. I had help on that journey from an absolutely amazing therapist and from an incredible program that I am sure you have heard of called Alcoholics Anonymous! Throughout my blog writing; moving forward, I will share all about both of those supports and how exactly they helped me. For this; my first post, I simply wanted to say that you are not alone! If you are struggling with addiction, I understand. If you are wrestling with your past, I understand. If you feel like you are failing as a parent, I definitely understand. If that feeling of worthlessness is plaguing you, I have been there. If it (anything) has happened to you; you can bet it has happened to me, therefore you are not alone. I lived in the darkness for the first forty seven years of my life. I have lived in the light for four years now and let me just say, “this is a far better place to live!” My goal in this blog is to share with you my darkness and my journey through it to the light. I want you to know that it is possible and that that light is just waiting for you. I want you to know that you are not alone! My life is not perfect; I am human and life happens, but I no longer have to suffer. I have the tools I need and the love for myself to get through whatever life throws at me. I look forward to sharing my journey with you all.
