Bio

Like everyone else in this world, I can relate to being in complicated family situations and marriage situations that you are going through, I am here to listen and hope to bring a smile on your face or at least try. I have an Associates Degree in Human Sevices, HIV Counselor, and recent graduate as a medical assistant. I'm also a middle child of six children. I can be of help if you need reassurance, self confidence, and assertiveness. Sometimes life gives us hands to be dealt with and we can't figure out why, but I'm here to listen until I know you are feeling better. There are things in life where the answers we seek are repeated questions we always have in mind.  Your not alone. Life is hard enough we can get through this together.

...See more I haven't gone to a counselor so long that I didn't know who to turn too when I found out my mom got test results back that her kidneys weren't functioning properly.  She has been battling cancer for a while but has fought it well.  So when I found 7 cups 2 weeks ago, I didn't know what to expect.  I tried several listeners, but they seemed off until I got connected to one that was nice enough to chat with me.     That's what it's about, the feedback is what someone needs and someone who can chat to them.  Sometimes listeners need a refresher on their training and some research online, because every issue is different and that person on the other side of the pc needs to be heard.
My life I am Proud

...See more I have been a recovering addict since the age of 18 years of age.  I started using drugs at the age of 12 but have had 2 relapses from 12 to 18 years of age.  I was told my one of my mother's co-workers that I wouldn't be anything in life, that I would be unmarried, barefoot, and pregnant.  I did want to become a professional wrestler, but the "one" I thought I was with wasn't such a great guy.  He did have some connections and access to a wrestling ring, but one of our friends played a rib saying that I wasn't pregnant with his child I was pregnant with someone else's.  He was a jealous type and when we got home, I remember blacking out and waking up in the hospital.  I was 18 and almost what my mom's co-worker said I would be.  I was a high school drop out, lost my baby and thought I lost everything so I went right back into drugs.  I was so messed up that I thought I one point I could climb the ladder, get on the terrace land on the tree and the car.  I had a 50/50 shot at death or life.     So with the aid of my mom's co-workers, one of which I adopted as a uncle figure helped me to get into a meth program to get clean, got me a job as a receptionist and showed me the effects of meth.  I was too proud to lose my teeth so I made a agreement with the counselor and told me I would withdrawal cutting down such a high dose.  By that time my mom gave birth to a set of twins and I knew she didnt trust anyone.  My parents are divorced when I was 19, so we all come from different dads.  Anyway, I quit the job and now I was on meth taking care of two kids who screamed all the time and thought I wasn't going to be able to handle it.     By the time I was 24 I decided to give school another shot.  I thought of what my mom's co-working saying that I wasn't going to be anyone.  So I proved him wrong.  I went to school 3 times a week at night, took care of the twins during the day while my mom worked, and worked a part-time job on the weekends.  I had left my dream behind to be a wrestler for two reasons, one was the right choice, and the other was the wrong choice, I didn't go back out of fear my ex would be there everywhere I trained.  But it doesn't stop me from watching and going to shows.  I Thank Jeff Hardy for getting me off that ladder I wanted to jump off of because I at the time had my own apartment still getting high and heard his theme music, so I got off it and watched his match, took a shower and fell asleep   May 2006 I graduated with a Associates Degree in Human Services and got my GED at the same time, became a Certified HIV Counselor, Certified Facilitator, Certified working with kids with ADHD, Certified Facilitator on Women's Condoms.  I because and Outreach Coordinator to bring people to get tested for HIV or other services.  Throughout all of this, I had forgot I was on meth, because I forgot to take it all this time.  I had a lot of positive things going on my plate that the same person who said I wasn't going to be anything, became my partner, A Husband.  We have beene married for 11 years   I went back to school as a medical assistant and I'm awaiting my day to walk tdown that aisle again. I hope my story is part of an inspiration to those who feel they can't do it.  you can.   My life has changed so much, that if I did die no one would know what it would be not even me.     I'm proud that I'm alive because I lived to tell it
