As someone who's been in recovery for 2 years and 1 month, I know firsthand the struggles and victories that come with this journey. When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, something clicked inside me—I knew I had to create a better life for her and for myself. My experience has taught me patience, resilience, and how to truly listen to others without judgment. I'm passionate about sharing my story because I remember feeling like there was no way forward, especially at my age. Now I want to use my lived experience to connect with others who feel that same hopelessness and show them recovery is possible. My strength comes from turning my challenges into a purpose, and I'm ready to use that strength to support others through their darkest moments.
