And I have to tell you, I just got a job as a preschool assistant! Literally just put on my Rosary beads (I was able to buy from a dear friend) and was saying a prayer when the school called to ask if I wanted the position. I didn’t even apply… they just offered me the job. 
This is something I’ve wanted but didn’t know how to make it work because of the baby but she will be going to the preschool too!
And I’m tearing up right now because honestly I never knew my life could be as good as it is right now. I could write a book about how God has worked magic in my life the last 3 years. MAGIC.
When I was at my worst, I was addicted to 5 substances, contemplating suicide daily, felt the weight of the world on my shoulders, felt a tsunami of shit coming at me in all directions and then one day I decided I could kill myself or get sober and so I quit my job in the night club and poured the drugs down the drain and checked in here everyday for a long time and can you believe? EVERYTHING worked out for me. EVERYTHING.
We moved in with our in laws, while I got sober, we AIRBNBd our house and eventually ended up turning a profit and all the bills were covered and when it came time to sell my house, it had gone up SO much in value… I have more money today than I did when I quit my job. I felt like I did a trust fall and God caught me.
And I don’t want to brag but I’ve been all over the place. I’ve traveled to Hawaii 3 times, Florida 6 times?, Utah, Tennessee, Sedona, Cincinnati… my sister always tells me “You know you spend your whole life on vacation” and I do…before I got sober I never went anywhere. I was afraid they would find my drugs on the plane.
I want to tell my sister it’s because I manifested it. I found yoga and meditation… I meditate a lot and recently I discovered that God is in everything, including me and if I want to spend time with God I just look at the flowers and feel the blood run through my body. And I feel JOY all the time!!! (Now I’m getting way out there but sobriety has changed me, changed my life, it’s been the best thing that has ever happened to me.) I am thankful for everyone here who took the time to be my friend or acquaintance and check up on me over the last 3 years. And above all else, I’m grateful my children will never know the person I used to be.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of it.
It’s such a joy to read your story. You truly turned things around.
……forever. I’m tearing up with happy tears for you while I write this and savor your share. I’m just so happy for you. You’ve come so far. A couple or few times I’d think we lost you. Then you’d pop back in sober as all hell. I’m so glad you stuck with this journey. It’s been an honor to be on this journey with you. I appreciate you always being a very supportive friend. And showing us all how it’s done.
