going to jail | 9 years later: rebuilding life after arrest

9 years ago on August 27, 2015, I hit rock bottom and found myself in jail unexpectedly for almost 4 months due to my addiction. Today, I'm sharing my personal perspective of how I knew I'd need to rebuild my life, overcoming triggers during seasonal depression in the summer, and finding purpose after hitting that low point. This video dives into my experience to grow stronger through recovery. Whether you're struggling with alcoholism, facing anxiety and depression or personal challenges, or just looking for motivation to keep pushing forward, this is for you.

Hi - I'm a recovered alcoholic. My sobriety date is October 8, 2017. I got sober from alcohol by going through the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous through the Big Book Awakening. Writing, art, and creative pursuits have been a meaningful part of my recovery. My solution is a spiritual solution. I know that's not popular but its the only one that has worked for me.
PS: You ARE worthy of doing something different.✨
