During my addiction, I had lost all hope and faith. It had gotten to a point where I didn't want to live anymore, I was slowly killing myself. I had lost my friends and family. I basically lost all dignity that I had left. Addiction is an ugly thing, but beautiful once you fight through the battle.

Today I live freely, I have my hope and faith restored, among many other things. It isn't impossible to overcome addiction, getting help, reaching out and working the program is truly the greatest gift and such a beautiful accomplishment.

This photo represents me finally being at peace and content in my life today because I chose to be sober. Everyday isn't a struggle, I promise. All of the fight is well worth it. I'm happy, I'm spiritual, I'm taking a course that will allow me to help others in addiction like myself, I'm grateful, and confident. Today I can say that I love myself and I want to live.

As I write this I sit at 97 days clean and sober with great relationships with my family, friends, peers and building new relationships because I chose to start living the life that I deserve.

Remember addiction is giving up everything for one thing and giving up one thing for everything.
