I just celebrated 5 years of sobriety. I went from losing everything I owned, job, house and everything in it. Now starting over in life.

I love that I’m strong, resilient and a fighter. I love the lessons I’ve learned and now know my worth. I’ve learned humility and surround myself with people who help motivate me , bring positivity and uplift others. I’ve learned to turn the page from my past and know tomorrow brings hope, promise and new beginnings.
How do you stay fabulous?I exercise daily, I have a full time job and try to remain positive. I’ve learned to be grateful and not take people or things for granted. I give back to the community by going to high schools to bring awareness on addiction. I try to remain in the present and know that God has a plan for me and that brings me happiness.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would pay off my debt!! I’m drowning in debt!! I’ve accumulated a lot of bills due to my past and going through a bad divorce. I would also pay my parents back the money they’ve loaned me to get back on my feet. I would also get myself a car too because I can’t afford to get one and have to rely on public transportation and rides from family and friends. I no longer want to be a burden.
