I hit rock bottom when I ran into legal issues that changed my life forever, by the grace of my higher power I was able to get the help that I needed all along.

My life is so much better, I am achieving personal goals and seeing the results. I no longer need to lean on substances for false hope, and am establishing and maintaining healthy relationships.
