Life is unpredictable, and my journey is a testament to that. For a quarter century, crack cocaine held me captive. I lost everything - my home, my family, my dreams, and even my desire to live. But today, I stand before you as a survivor. I've rebuilt my life, become a homeowner, and launched my own business. Most importantly, I am a mother, determined to help my daughter overcome the same demons that once plagued me. This book is my story of hope and resilience. It's about conquering the challenges of addiction and finding strength through faith. Additionally, it explores a new hurdle in my journey: watching my daughter struggle with the same addiction that nearly destroyed me. Through poetry and personal reflections, I share my regrets and recount how faith transformed my life. But this book is not just about me. It's for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting a loved one who is. It's for those who feel hopeless and need a reminder that change is always possible. I want to convey that regardless of the circumstances, there is always hope. I'm not perfect, but I'm constantly learning, growing, and facing challenges. My goal is to share my story to inspire and support anyone bound by addiction who yearns to be free. You are not alone. It's never too late to turn your life around. All it takes is faith and a willingness to change. If I can do it, you can too.
