Hi everyone! So today I decided I’m going to toot my own horn and tell you exactly how far I’ve come in the last two years, but more importantly in the last seven months. I am not proud of the person I used to be, but she is a big part of who I am today and I’m going to share parts of my journey today, so bear with me. Haha.
Seven months ago, I was homeless, living out of my car, staying with friends or relatives and actually in my car a few times. I was addicted to meth, had no job, had just been dumped by the man I believed to be my soulmate, we can be wrong sometimes lol, and just when I thought I couldn’t take any more, I had a night I seriously planned out how I could commit suicide…and then…my 25 yr old, only son, committed suicide himself. Four days exactly after my thoughts of suicide. To say I was devastated, dying inside, and couldn’t breath, barely touches the surface of my feelings. Today I’m not going to go into how I’ve dealt with his suicide because the point of this blog is to show you how far I’ve come.
About a week after I lost my son, a lady I had worked with about six months before this messaged me and asked if I wanted to come stay at the lodge she manages for a week or two to get away from everything and take some time to heal. I knew this was God and the angels giving me a sign and a place to go when everything felt so hopeless. This is a small town, I knew no one, but it was still close enough to visit my mom and my daughter. After a week of being here, since I had no plans at all, I applied at the grocery store just to apply and got hired. Since then, I have moved from a tiny one bedroom apartment of my own, to a more spacious two bedroom, filled with light, that is also my own. It is filled with everything I need and also things I like. I have 11 plants, and I’m in the process of getting my office completely set up in my extra bedroom. Last week I was promoted to assistant manager at the store! With my work history and lack of experience, this is amazing! The biggest news is I have been completely sober for over six months and I KNOW in my soul, I will never get high again. It is the most freeing and empowering thing I’ve ever done. I am in a completely different mindset than I’ve been in my life. I am certain of angels and spirit guides in my life everyday. There are signs and synchronicities every single day. I’ve had contact with my son and so many amazing things have happened showing me how connected I am to the spirit world.
So even though I have a peer support specialist certificate, a master life coaching certificate, my biggest qualification for being a spiritual life coach is my actual life experiences and spiritual experiences I’ve had the last two years, maybe my whole life. I’m so excited to get started on my life purpose and if you’re interested in hiring me as your coach, please email me at the email I have on the site and I will contact you about getting started. My son and I had a saying for about a year and a half about being me getting sober, “If I can get sober and clean, ANYONE can get sober and clean!” And I truly mean that. Can’t wait to hear from you. Have a great day and keep your head up, better days are ahead.
Resilience & Recovery
