I am finally in recovery and growing into the person my higher power intended for me to be. I am a first-generation college student, and recently got my health and life insurance license. I have been through more than I ever care to admit again, and I am finally seeing my hard work come into play as I heal from a life of pure agony.  I have raised two children as a single mom, both of which ended in me getting rejected for trying to stand up and change our dynamics. They are both safe and happy; they just aren't fans of mine at the moment. From what I've learned, they will come to their senses at some point, but there's nothing I can do in the meantime except finally be who I was intended to be. Without all the pain from my past. I am a member of ACA and CoDA, and I just published my first poetry book, and whether it's a best seller or a no seller, I published a book, and that alone is enough for me. I am in recovery for substance abuse, and suffer from CPTSD, ADHD, eating disorders, codependency, being an adult child of dysfunctional families, and abandonment issues.
